Prism – Colourise log files (with ANSI characters codes)
Project description
A command line log colouriser utility.
Dependencies
Required:
argh (argument parsing)
ordereddict (if using Python 2.6)
Optional:
watchdog (optional for watching files and directories with the -w option)
pytest (optional for running tests)
Installation
From Python package index (Pypi):
(sudo) pip install logprism
or from Github:
(sudo) pip install argh watchdog
git clone https://github.com/peterhil/prism.git
cd prism
(sudo) python setyp.py install
Usage examples
prism -g /var/log/*.log
prism -m /var/log/apache2/*log
prism /opt/local/var/macports/logs/*/*.log
Todo
Show some tail lines when using -w: Make a line cache (count total lines with wc -l) from the end of the file using some blocksize.
Can be done with readlines() first. Then seek and read blocksize bytes from len(file)-blocksize and update cache.
Later enable ncurses scrolling for earlier lines?
Show n lines by default (a screenful / filecount?)
