Hi,
Have used the trial on recommendation of a friend who's a paying customer and it seems great and do what I want (and what he's wanted for awhile).

The issue is that I have moved all my ssh auth over to a yubikey, but logview doesnt seem to support the 2 ways I can currently auth to my servers.

Could a pageant style authentication method be added? (so no need for cert, password, etc) as this is handled in the background. This works fine with putty, winscp, filezilla pro etc

OR

I also have setup a ed25519-sk key (ecdsa-sk is also supported by later versions of OpenSSH), but you only seem to support the PPK format, which you cant seem to currently convert ecdsa-sk/ed25519-sk OpenSSH to PPK format. So the question is could  OpenSSH key formats (including ecdsa-sk/ed25519-sk) be supported directly?

I think the pageant method is probably best - this way any future changes to keys/dongles/etc are supported by the agent and dont require updating your app.

This is currently a deal breaker for me and also causing the friend who recommended me issues as hes in the process of moving to a yubikey too.

Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification.

I am afraid I do not have a good solution.  Our networking library is largely provided by a third party (Rebex) and it seems they do not yet support Pageant or ed25519-sk.

We monitor Rebex closely and I will keep an eye out for changes.  I know that Pageant is planned, but I am not sure when this will be available.

Hope that helps,

Toby
