History

sivtr stores captured output in a local SQLite history database with FTS5 search. The history commands are read-oriented: list recent entries, search by keyword, and show a full entry.

List recent entries

Section titled “List recent entries”
Terminal window
sivtr history
sivtr history list
sivtr history list --limit 50

Output includes the entry id, timestamp, command, and a preview of the content.

Section titled “Search”
Terminal window
sivtr history search "panic"
sivtr history search "failed assertion" --limit 10

Search uses the history full-text index. Use the resulting id with history show.

Show an entry

Section titled “Show an entry”
Terminal window
sivtr history show 42

The detail view prints metadata followed by the stored content:

  • id;
  • timestamp;
  • command;
  • source;
  • host;
  • content.

Retention

Section titled “Retention”

History retention is controlled by config:

[history]
auto_save = true
max_entries = 0

max_entries = 0 means unlimited.
