Sinatra-Tailer

A sinatra application to view log files, or any text file, on your local computer or server. Auto-updates so you can watch the changes.

Features

  • runs under rack, so you can host it the way you want it.
  • easy configuration, just edit a single yaml file.
  • supports file globs

Download

The latest version of sinatra-tailer can be found at

Requirements

sinatra framework (tested on 0.9.1.1, earlier may work) 

  sudo gem install sinatra

Installation

  1. git clone git://github.com/threadhead/sinatra-tailer.git
  2. cd sinatra-tailer
  3. cp config/logs.example.yml config/logs.yml
  4. mate config/logs.yml

PassengerPane

If you are using PassengerPane, you can drag the sinatra-tailer directory into the PassengerPane window. Set your alias and you are ready to go.

Apache

You can use the following vhost config: 

  <VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/sinatra-tailer/public"
    RackEnv production
    <directory "/path/to/src/sinatra-railer/public">
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
    </directory>
  </VirtualHost>

Or, if you prefer to have it run on a separate port (my favorite method):

NameVirtualHost *:4444 

  <VirtualHost *:4444>
     DocumentRoot /path/to/sinatra-tailer/public
     RackEnv production
     <directory /path/to/sinatra-tailer/public>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
     </directory>
  </VirtualHost>

Local

Or if your prefer, you can run this as a pure rack application and view it at localhost:9292: 

  rackup config.ru
