dsh-logtimeline

🐳 dsh-logtimeline

Query local log files with Chinese natural-language time expressions — LogTimeline for DeepSeek Harness.

简体中文 | English

Ask 「昨天下午」「3小时前」「凌晨12点」「上周三 14:00-15:00」 — get the matching log lines, the resolved time range, and ERROR/WARN/INFO level stats. Fully offline. Logs never leave the machine.

Why

Coding agents constantly need to answer "what happened around 3pm yesterday?". Generic log tools make you hand-write grep pipelines and timestamp math. log_query resolves the fuzzy Chinese time expression for you and returns structured, machine-readable matches the agent can reason over directly — no parsing prose out of terminal output.

Features

Install

Prerequisites: a dsh profile (web or headless) + Python 3.9+ on the machine (on Windows, the py launcher is auto-detected when python is missing).

Local / development (from a checkout):

git clone https://github.com/anyuer678/dsh-logtimeline.git
dsh plugin --profile web add file:/path/to/dsh-logtimeline

Community install — once listed in awesome-dsh-plugin, install via the plugin market (GitHub-only plugins are supported):

dsh plugin --profile web add dshmarket
# then: Settings → Plugin Market → search "dsh-logtimeline" → one-click install

Compatibility: tested against @deepseek-ai/[email protected] (current harness release line, e.g. [email protected]).

Usage

Tell the agent to use the tool — no special syntax needed:

用 log_query 查一下 demo.log 里 2026-07-03 的 ERROR 情况

// log_query(time_text: "2026-07-03", files: ["demo.log"])
{
  "time_range": { "start": "2026-07-03 00:00:00", "end": "2026-07-04 00:00:00", "confidence": 1.0 },
  "filter": {
    "total_matched": 25,
    "stats": { "errors": 13, "warns": 5, "infos": 7, "debugs": 0 },
    "lines": [ /* up to max_lines rows: {lineno, timestamp, raw} */ ]
  }
}

Parameters

The tool runs in offline mode by default: it filters precisely (its unique value), and leaves root-cause reasoning to the agent itself.

Architecture

src/query.ts      Core logic: subprocess → vendored lq.py --json → parse (framework-free, testable)
src/runtime.ts    DSH assembly: registers log_query via defineTool (ctx.tools)
src/config.ts     Plugin config (pythonBin, timeoutMs)
python/           Vendored LogTimeline CLI (GPL-3.0, see python/VENDORED.md)
tests/            Vitest integration tests running the real vendored Python

The plugin shells out to a vendored copy of the LogTimeline Python CLI (python/lq.py --json --no-llm), so the battle-tested parsing/filtering logic stays untouched. Vendoring changes are minimal and documented in python/VENDORED.md.

Development

npm install --legacy-peer-deps   # peer deps are provided by the DSH host runtime
npm run typecheck
npm run test                     # integration tests: real vendored Python + host-assembly smoke
npm run build
python scripts/run-upstream-tests.py   # upstream LogTimeline pytest suite against the vendored code

tests/query.test.ts runs the real vendored Python CLI against fixture logs; tests/host.test.ts loads the built plugin (lib/) into a minimal Cordis container, applies it, and validates the canonical value against the output.schema contract. Peer packages (@deepseek-ai/dsh-*, pinned to the 0.1.0-rc.6 line) are installed as devDependencies so the runtime import chain resolves outside a DSH host.

Security & Privacy

• No key handling: the plugin reads no API keys, stores no credentials, and makes no outbound calls — log analysis is 100% local
• No log exfiltration: log lines are returned to the agent (the model) as tool results, never sent anywhere else
• Path scoping: only the paths the model passes (via files/dir) are read; the tool is read-only, it never writes or deletes log files
• Output hygiene: control characters / ANSI escapes in log lines are stripped from rendered output
