SSHLOGv Script (SSH Log Viewer)

====================================

This script is an SSH Log Viewer, a powerful tool for system administrators to monitor and analyze SSH login attempts on Linux systems using systemd's journalctl.

🌟 Description

The SSH Log Viewer is a bash script designed to provide system administrators with an efficient way to monitor and analyze SSH login activities on Linux systems that use systemd's journalctl for logging. It offers a user-friendly interface with multiple viewing and filtering options, making it easier to track successful logins, failed attempts, and potential security threats.
