I built TWSLA because I was tired of waiting for grep/awk on multi-gigabyte logs, and I didn't want to spin up a full ELK stack just for a quick analysis.

TWSLA is a single binary CLI tool that focuses on three things: 1. Speed: Blazing fast log parsing and counting. 2. Simplicity: One command to extract data or generate terminal-based graphs. 3. Portability: No dependencies, works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

It handles Syslog, Apache/Nginx access logs, and custom formats easily. I've been refining this as part of my 25-year journey in network management tools.

Key features: - High-speed filtering and counting - Data extraction (IPs, Emails, etc.) via simple commands - Built-in graphing capabilities (even in the terminal for some environments)

I'd love to hear how you currently handle "quick and dirty" log analysis and if TWSLA could fit into your workflow.
