Grep Badger is an AI log analyzer for developers who want answers from their logs without forcing everything through a cloud service. Use Ollama for private, self-hosted analysis, or connect OpenAI or Anthropic when hosted models make more sense.

The problem

You're spending 25% of your debugging time waiting.

Logs are noisy. Finding the signal takes time — you grep, you filter, you scroll, you stare. Every cycle of copy-paste-ask-wait costs 45 seconds. Over a 4-hour debugging session, that's nearly an hour burned on the loop alone.

And that's assuming you can even use cloud AI. When your logs have production data, pasting into a cloud AI tool is a policy violation waiting to happen. You need answers. You don't need a security incident.

The solution

Ask questions. Get answers. Keep your data.

Grep Badger brings AI directly to your logs. Use Ollama for private, self-hosted analysis, or connect OpenAI or Anthropic if you prefer hosted models. Ask "What caused the spike at 3pm?" or "Show me every database connection failure from the last deployment" and get answers quickly.

Natural language queries

Ask about your logs like you would ask a teammate.

Local-first AI

Use Ollama for private, self-hosted analysis, or connect OpenAI or Anthropic if you prefer cloud models.

Private by default

With self-hosted Ollama, your log data stays in your environment.

Works offline

With local Ollama, no internet required after model download.

Optional cloud providers

OpenAI and Anthropic are supported when hosted models fit the job better.

Model choice

Use the Ollama models you want and choose the provider that fits the job.

Real questions you can ask Grep Badger

"What errors occurred in the last hour?"

"Show me all database connection failures"

"What's the most common error type in this log?"

"Find all requests from IP 192.168.x.x"

"Summarize every exception from the last deployment"

"Are there any patterns in the error timestamps?"

"Compare error rates before and after 2pm"

The AI has the full log context — not just a snippet you pasted. It sees patterns you'd miss skimming by hand.

Three steps from log to insight

1. Open your log — local file or SSH into a server
2. Enable AI — use Ollama for self-hosted analysis, or OpenAI / Anthropic for cloud models
3. Ask a question — type in plain English, get an answer in seconds

No formatting. No preprocessing. Just choose the provider that fits your workflow.

Private by default. Flexible by design.

Grep Badger works best when you want private, self-hosted analysis, but it does not lock you into one provider:

• Privacy: With self-hosted Ollama, your data stays in your environment.
• Flexibility: Use Ollama for self-hosted analysis, or connect OpenAI or Anthropic when cloud models fit better.
• Cost: Use Ollama without per-query API pricing, or choose a hosted provider when it is worth it.
• Control: You choose the provider and model that fit the job.
• Offline: With local Ollama, no internet required after setup.

The alternatives all require trust

General-purpose cloud chat tools

You paste your logs. They go to a server you don't control. Hope the provider's security is perfect.

Cloud observability platforms with AI

Uploads all logs to their cloud. Recurring cost. Tied to their platform forever.

Enterprise log analysis stacks

Enterprise pricing. Requires full infrastructure. Not even in the same conversation for small teams.

Grep Badger keeps AI close to your logs — self-hosted with Ollama when privacy matters most, or through supported cloud providers when that fits better.

Common questions

What can AI actually do with my logs?

Find errors by type, summarize exception patterns, answer targeted questions about time ranges or specific errors, detect clusters in error timestamps, and correlate log lines you'd normally have to piece together manually.

Do I need to format my logs first?

No. Grep Badger works with any text-based log format. JSON, syslog, nginx, Apache, custom application logs — the AI handles whatever you give it.

Which model should I use?

If you want local, private analysis, Llama 3 and Mistral are the sweet spot in Ollama. CodeLlama is good if you want code-level reasoning. Larger models are more capable but need more RAM. If you prefer hosted models, Grep Badger also supports OpenAI and Anthropic.

Does this replace grep?

It complements grep. Use grep for exact pattern matching. Use AI when you need to ask “what happened here?” in plain language and get a contextual answer.

Can I use AI on SSH-connected servers?

Yes. Logs on remote servers get the same AI treatment as local files. Where processing happens depends on the provider you choose — self-hosted Ollama keeps analysis in your environment, while cloud providers process the data you send to them.

Stop pasting logs into cloud AI tools.

One-time purchase. No subscription. No cloud.
