Webtail

Fairly simple multiuser realtime webapp for tailing logs over the network.

Requirements

Installation

Easy way:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Harder way:

Install requirements manually

If you run into any problems. Consult one of the links in the requirements section. Note that gevent requires [libev] (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html).

Usage

Open up a port for listening on the remote machine and pour stuff into the socket. Probably something like this:

  1. On your server: $ tail -f mylogfile.txt | netcat -l -k 6565
  2. Start the webapp with $ python webtail.py yourserverhost 6565
  3. Visit http://localhost:5000 in your browser

About
