Wildcard Tail? #7

Excellent tool!

In elastic beanstalk apps, there are usually several log streams, and sometimes it's useful to tail all of them at once.

For example:

/aws/elasticbeanstalk/appname/var/log/eb-activity.log /aws/elasticbeanstalk/appname/var/log/httpd/access_log /aws/elasticbeanstalk/appname/var/log/httpd/error_log

In this case, it would be adventageous to be able to tail with a syntax like:

cwtail -f /aws/elasticbeanstalk/appname/*

Just a suggestion. Wish I could help implement it myself, but I am still very unfamiliar with Node. Will jump in as I learn more though, if I'm able.

Thanks! The suggestion sounds quite useful. I haven't had much time to put into this project myself recently though.

I've found it very useful so far - it can be quite a challenge getting useful logging info from a multi-server cluster at times. This simplifies it greatly.
