The tool aims to simplify diagnosing verbose Renovate logs and is available for feedback on Hacker News.", "body_md": "Did you ever get frustrated while diagnosing an issue with Renovate Bot because of its very verbose debug logs? Then this is the right tool for you.\n\nrenovate-log-parser is a CLI with the following commands:\n\n- detect-errors: meant for CI pipelines; it scans the log for potential problems and warnings and exits with an error, helping you detect and solve hidden Renovate issues you would otherwise miss\n\n- analyze: (with a corresponding SKILL.md) tells your coding agent (Codex, Copilot, Claude Code, etc.) about the log's structure, allowing it to efficiently read only the most relevant log lines in a token-efficient way, so that it can quickly (and cheaply) diagnose Renovate problems\n\n- web: starts a temporary local web server that parses the log and serves a browser-based interface that you use to analyze and filter Renovate logs of any length; this solves the problem of tedious, manual “grep”-like analyses where your text editor chokes on too large files\n\n- install-analyze-skill: writes a SKILL.md into your project or home directory, teaching your coding agent how to use renovate-log-parser. Optionally includes instructions for pulling the log straight from your GitHub Actions Renovate runs (for self-hosted Renovate)\n\nI'm curious what you think, looking for feedback.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49159363](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49159363)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-renovate-log-parser-detect-and-analyse-renovate-bot-problems", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/MShekow/renovate-log-parser", "published_at": "2026-08-03 18:06:40+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-03 18:22:42.697221+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools"], "entities": ["Renovate Bot", "renovate-log-parser", "Hacker News"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-renovate-log-parser-detect-and-analyse-renovate-bot-problems", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-renovate-log-parser-detect-and-analyse-renovate-bot-problems.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-renovate-log-parser-detect-and-analyse-renovate-bot-problems.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-renovate-log-parser-detect-and-analyse-renovate-bot-problems.jsonld"}}
