About Retrospective

Retrospective is a desktop application for convenient and effective searching in local and distributed log files as well as log data from container platforms such as Docker and Kubernetes. Such data sources are accessed on local and/or remote computers and the log data of different format is extracted, combined and displayed in one place (the result table). Advanced features such as profile definition, data source monitoring, sorting/filtering result entries, highlighting, bookmarking, exporting etc. enable fast and robust log data exploration. Retrospective assists you in early error detection by monitoring application servers’ logs, searching for exceptions, etc. The highly optimized search engine together with the aforementioned features ensures that much precious time is saved. Being able to access all log data in one place makes log data processing incredibly efficient, thus ensuring quick and effective reactions to problems, and therefore gain customers’ trust and loyalty.

    "Retrospective is awesome"

    Posted 2025-10-21

    Pros: Easy to use for people like me that are not working daily with complex grep commands.
    sorting fetching and exclude text form a search.
    perfect to drag n drop a file and analyse it.

    Cons: the great features are sometimes hidden. The handbook will help you to find some, in case you are reading Handbooks.

    Overall: I worked with the software over many years in different companies.
    loved to search multiple files over a few servers to get a overview what happened.
