  I tried lnav about 7-8 years ago and as a terminal junkie I really liked the features.

  The only breaking thing was a huge (almost bloated) memory consumption. At that time lnav basically just kept everything in memory. Does anyone did that change?

  Oh yeah! lnav is famous. I remember using it like a decade ago to monitor an array of web servers while at GoDaddy; good ol' times.

  First commit is from Sep 13, 2009: https://github.com/tstack/lnav/commit/b4ec432515e95e86ec9d71... . Woah! we’re old.

  This is almost the thing I want and need. What I need is some sort of TUI grafana - Json log splitter/organizer/finder

    Currently working exactly on that https://gitlab.com/makapuf/treewalker (even if it could always use some love)

    I use vnlog and feedgnuplot to massage and plot data on the console all the time. It's even less than a tui, but might be what you want.

      If you're fine with CLIs, maybe my Kelora project is worth a look. It's a very flexible log processor with built-in scripting: https://kelora.dev
