Seq Forwarder has moved!

Seq's own handy little store-and-forward ingestion proxy has been rewritten as the `seqcli forwarder` command group:

github.com/datalust/seq...

The original Seq Forwarder repository has been archived, but past releases will remain available there.

Today's tiny quality-of-life improvement:

If you regularly use the "From now" date range option, grab the latest 2025.1 patch and try Ctrl+Space N 💡

github.com/datalust/seq...
The Seq command palette, with "ran" typed in the filter box. The list shows the Custom Range, From Now, Next Range, Previous Range, and To Now shortcuts.

The nifty color palette we adopted here is based on Matteo Niccoli's perceptual rainbow palette, mycartablog.com/2013/02/21/p...

A peek into the delicate machinery that adapts a running Seq node to its role in the cluster: blog.datalust.co/leader-elect...
The components responsible for tracking node state and orchestrating transitions. A consensus module interacts with the external cluster state database, feeding triggers into the node state machine. Simultaneously, a clock component fires triggers in the state machine too. The state machine sends commands to a command queue, which is observed by a command queue monitor. The command dispatcher pulls commands from the queue, and orchestrates the storage engine and application components.

Ctrl-K, or Cmd-K on macOS, puts a stack of Seq features in reach without picking up a mouse ✨

This is a Seq update not to miss! Check all of the details at blog.datalust.co/announcing-s...
The Seq Events screen, showing the command palette dialog as an overlay. The dialog comprises a search box and a list of matching commands. The search box has been filled with the word "signal", and the command list shows matches including "Add to Signal", "Clear All", "Exclude", "Save", and "Signals", each with help text. Beside the matching command names are the shortcut key sequences for each command, for example Add to Signal is Ctrl Space, A.
