Tails a set of log files and serves them up on a web server with syntax colors via regex.
Binaries avaiable in releases. See usage below.
Focus on:
- Support for both Windows and Linux
- Support as many browsers as possible
- Support for Java 1.6+
- Ease deployment and usage by generating fat jars with minimal configuration required
Developed with Scala, Akka, Lift, Comet (Ajax Push), and JavaScript.
- Call
java -jar logstation.jar
- It will create an logstation.conf in your current directory and exit
- Update logstation.conf
- Call
java -jar logstation.jar
again to start it - Navigate to
http://127.0.0.1:8884
to start tailing
Can also use -c your-logstation.conf
argument
logstation {
# Windows example of setting up logs
logs=["C:\\git\\logstation\\test\\logfile.log","C:\\git\\logstation\\test\\logfile2.log"]
# Unix example of setting up logs
# logs=["/home/jdrews/git/logstation/logfile.log","/home/jdrews/git/logstation/logfile2.log"]
# Setup your syntax below
# <some-name>=[<RGB_HEX>,<regex-for-line-matching>]
# matching gives priority to the top most
syntax {

error=["#FF1F1F",".*ERROR.*"]
# yellow
warn=["#F2FF00",".*WARN.*"]
# green
info=["#00FF2F",".*INFO.*"]
# blue
debug=["#4F9BFF",".*DEBUG.*"]
# cyan
trace=["#4FFFF6",".*TRACE.*"]
}
# Web Server Port
# The port used to connect to the LogStation
webServerPort=8884
# Number of lines to display per log file
# any logs over this will truncate the oldest lines from the page
maxLogLinesPerLog=500
# Number of messages to buffer on server
# These will be sent to any new connections so they have some history of logs
# bufferLength is multiplied by number of logs, and buffered on best effort for each log
bufferLength=10
