Use when: searching log files with super-speedy-syslog-searcher, s4, merging disparate logs by datetime range, building incident timelines, querying journal, evtx, etl, asl, audit logs, compressed logs, or archived logs. Assumes the user has an s4 binary installed.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# s4 Log Search Use ***super-speedy-syslog-searcher***, `s4`, to speedily search and merge log messages by interpreted datetime across many log files, directories, compressed files, archives, and binary log formats. The user must have `s4` installed. They can use `s4-easy-install` to quickly install `s4`. `s4` is strongest when an incident time or datetime window is known and the useful clues may be scattered across log files. It produces a datetime-sorted view across inputs. ## First Checks When shell access is available, verify the binary before relying on it: ```sh command -v s4 s4 --version ``` For `.asl`, `.etl`, `.odl`, `.aodl`, `.odlgz`, or `.odlsent` files, `s4` may require its Python environment to exist. If those formats fail, suggest running: ```sh s4 --venv ``` If `s4` is unavailable, ask the user to install it or provide the path to the binary. ### Installation #### Unix On Unix, use the POSIX-compliant Unix shell script `s4-easy-install.sh`. ```sh curl -LsSf 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jtmoon79/super-speedy-syslog-searcher/main/tools/s4-easy-install.sh' | sh ``` #### Windows On Windows, run the PowerShell script `s4-easy-install.ps1` …

How to install
mdr add jtmoon79/super-speedy-syslog-searcher/s4-log-search@sha256:d49ac67a0dd534e9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260713.a3141c2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
