Connect over SSH, find common server logs automatically, and read the latest entries without remembering file paths, journalctl commands, or pager controls.
Server logs without the Terminal.
Beaver Logs gives you a clear view of logs on remote Linux servers. Connect over SSH, scan the machine for common services and log files, then choose which logs you want to keep available for that server.
No need to remember file paths, journalctl options, or pager controls. Select a log and Beaver Logs retrieves its latest entries in a clean, searchable reader.
FIND RELEVANT LOGS
Beaver Logs can scan a server for common services and log sources, including:
• systemd services
• SSH
• Nginx
• Apache
• PHP-FPM
• Fail2ban
• Unbound
• Postfix and Dovecot
• Other recognized services and log files
The scan runs only when you request it. You decide which discovered logs appear in the sidebar.
ADD YOUR OWN LOGS
Add a custom log with a name and file path, or define a systemd service by its unit name. This is useful for application logs, WordPress debug logs, and your own server services.
READ ONLY WHAT YOU NEED
Choose the latest 100, 500, 1,000, or 5,000 lines or journal entries. Click Update whenever you want to retrieve the current state.
Beaver Logs does not continuously collect or monitor your servers in the background.
A CLEAN LOG READER
• Scroll through retrieved entries
• Search within the current log
• Move between search results
• Wrap long lines or use horizontal scrolling
• Copy selected entries
• Export log content when needed
• See when the log was last updated
FILES AND SYSTEM JOURNALS
Beaver Logs handles both common log sources:
• Regular log files are read efficiently using their latest lines
• systemd journals are read without the confusing interactive pager
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Connections go directly from your Mac to your server over SSH.
• No server agent to install
• No account
• No cloud log collection
• No analytics
• Retrieved log content remains in memory only for the current session
Beaver Logs is designed for developers, self-hosters, and administrators who need a quick look at a server without setting up a complete monitoring platform.
