Stop standing up Grafana + Loki for a five-person team. One container. No Redis, no log-shipping agent, no config sprawl. Point it at your Docker socket, get a live, searchable, alerting dashboard in under a minute. --- Why api-watch? Grafana + Loki is the right tool once you've outgrown a single box. Until then, it's a lot of infrastructure to stand up just to read logs. api-watch sits in between: - Persistent logs. SQLite-backed storage with configurable retention that survives restarts. - One container. No Redis, Postgres, or log shipping pipeline. - Readable JSON. Expand structured logs into a syntax-highlighted tree. - Built-in alerts. Slack and Gmail notifications with cooldowns. - Made for small teams. If you need SSO, clustering or multi-host aggregation, you've probably outgrown api-watch and that's okay. --- Features - Live container log streaming over WebSockets - Persistent log history - Full-text server-side search - JSON log parsing with expandable tree view - Filter by container and severity - Slack & Gmail alerts - Session authentication - Automatic log retention - Export logs to JSON - Label-based container discovery - Dark & light themes --- Dashboard --- Quickstart Open Log in and you're ready. By default api-watch only watches containers with: Example: --- docker-compose --- Example application --- Why not Dozzle or Loki?
