Allows the viewing of any log file entries in real time directly from the Django admin interface. It allows you to filter on logs with regex and offer also a log clipboard for save desired log lines to the django db.

Demos

LogTailer log reader in the Django admin

Requirements

  • Django >= 6.1.1

  • Python >= 3.12

  • Sessions enabled

Installation

  • Install the package with pip install django-logtailer

  • Add it to the INSTALLED_APPS in your SETTINGS

  • Set LOGTAILER_ALLOWED_ROOTS in your SETTINGS (see Settings below)

  • add to urls.py: url(r’^logs/’, include(‘logtailer.urls’)),

  • Run manage.py migrate for create the required tables

  • Run manage.py collectstatic

Settings

LOGTAILER_ALLOWED_ROOTS (mandatory): list of directories log files are allowed to live in. Paths are fully resolved (symlinks and .. included) before checking, preventing path traversal (CWE-22). If the setting is missing or empty, access to every log file is denied:

LOGTAILER_ALLOWED_ROOTS = ['/var/log/myapp']

Filters

Filters (saved in the admin or typed in the custom filter field) are Python regular expressions evaluated server-side with re.search() against each raw log line. Only matching lines are returned to the browser.

  • Write plain patterns, not JavaScript literals: use networkmanager, not /networkmanager/.

  • Flags are inline groups: case-insensitive matching is (?i)networkmanager, not /networkmanager/i.

  • An invalid regex falls back to a literal substring match.

Running tests

From the repository root:

python runtests.py

The suite uses a minimal standalone settings module (tests/settings.py) with an in-memory SQLite database, so no extra setup is needed.
