Dstl8.Lite GUI
Press d in Gonzo to launch a local browser dashboard with workspaces, search, and severity heatmaps.
Press d from any Gonzo view to launch Dstl8.Lite, a local browser-based dashboard powered by Gonzo. Same logs, richer UI: workspaces, pattern detection, severity heatmaps, and live log search. Runs entirely on your machine.
Dstl8.Lite is bundled with Gonzo and runs locally. No account, no cloud, no extra install. If you want the full version with persistent workspaces, RBAC, and the Möbius AI agent, see Dstl8.
Launch it
While Gonzo is running, hit d from any view. Your default browser opens to the Dstl8.Lite dashboard, streaming the same logs Gonzo is analyzing.
What you get
Log viewer with severity filtering and live search
Search across the live stream and filter by severity level. Useful when you want to scan a wider range of logs than the TUI buffer shows.
Severity heatmap across pods
Visualize severity distribution over time, broken down by pod (or service, host, etc. depending on your input source). Spot which workloads are noisy and when.
Workspaces
Group your logs into named workspaces so you can switch context without losing state. Each workspace keeps its own filters and views.
Pattern detection
Recurring log patterns are extracted and surfaced automatically, the same pattern detection Gonzo uses in the Counts modal, but with more room to browse.
When to use Dstl8.Lite vs the TUI
You're SSH'd into a server
You're on your local machine with a browser handy
You want fast keyboard-driven triage
You want to search and filter across more log volume
You're piping logs through a quick | gonzo
You're running a longer debugging session
You want minimal resource overhead
You want richer visualizations and multi-pane views
Both share the same underlying log stream, so you can have them open side-by-side and switch as needed.
Troubleshooting
Browser doesn't open when I press d Dstl8.Lite tries to open your default browser. If that fails, check the Gonzo footer for the local URL (typically http://localhost:<port>) and open it manually.
Port already in use The local server picks an open port automatically. If you're seeing conflicts, check what's bound on common ports (8080, 3000, etc.) or restart Gonzo.
Logs not appearing in Dstl8.Lite Dstl8.Lite streams whatever Gonzo is currently processing. If the TUI isn't showing logs either, check your input source (file path, stdin, OTLP receiver, k8s connection).
