Infrastructure Resource Profiles in lnav

Smoke rises from the terminal. Logs stream past, dense with detail. You lean in. You need answers now.

Infrastructure Resource Profiles in lnav give you those answers faster than raw logs ever could. They distill complex infrastructure events into a readable, structured view. In lnav, they become living documents that update as your systems run—no manual refresh, no wasted seconds.

An Infrastructure Resource Profile is a compressed snapshot of what a resource is, what it’s doing, and how it’s changing. In lnav, profiles merge with log data on the fly. Using SQL queries inside lnav, you can join system metrics with profile fields. You see CPU spikes tied to exact containers. You trace network usage directly to resource IDs. Because lnav supports JSON and multi-line logs natively, profiles render cleanly without custom scripts.

To set them up:

1. Export your resource metadata into a format lnav can parse (JSON, CSV, or SQLite).
2. Load that into lnav alongside your operational logs.
3. Use :schema and :view commands to inspect profile fields, then pivot to :filter-in to narrow focus.
4. Save sessions to capture your investigation path for repeatable audits.

Keeping Infrastructure Resource Profiles inside lnav means context is always one keystroke away. No tab-switching between dashboard and logs. No stale data. You operate inside a single pane, watching infrastructure stories unfold in real time.

Profiles in lnav are scalable too. Thousands of resources can be indexed without choking your workflow. Custom formats and data sources integrate directly, so your profiles adapt as your architecture evolves—cloud, on-prem, or hybrid.

Stop parsing logs blind. Merge them with Infrastructure Resource Profiles in lnav and read your system’s truth without delay.
