Tailr

Quickly tail local and remote files

Installation

npm install -g tailr

to add zsh completions:

tailr completions >> ~/.zshrc

NOTE: If you're using the completions and you get a warning about insecure directories it's because the owner of the directory ".../node/.../lib/node_modules/tailr/completions" should be either the root user or the current user.

Configuration

Create a file named '.tailr.coffee' in your home directory:

module.exports =
  logs:
    my_remote_log:
      server: 'myserver'
      username: 'myuser'
      port: 1234
      filename: '/path/to/file/on/remote/server.log'
    my_local_log:
      filename: '/path/to/local/file'

Usage

# show the names of the logs specified in ~/.tailr.coffee
tailr list

# tail a specific log:
tailr tail my_remote_log
