Fork of the "colored logcat output" project (http://jsharkey.org/downloads/coloredlogcat.pytxt), which adds colors to logcat formatted output.
This version is different, in the sense that doesn't run any application, but instead reads from stdin and formats all lines matching a couple of regular expressions:
- Akka log output format (actor systems, dispatchers, actors)
- Some Java/Scala Stacktraces
###Installation
-
First, make the script executable
chmod +x hl.py -
For convenience you can do something like:
sudo mv hl.py /usr/bin/hlormv hl.py ~/bin/hl
###Usage
-
Run your app, pipe the output to the formatter
your_akka_app | ./hl.py -
You can also do this with logs, with either tail or cat.
tail -f logfile | hl.pycat logfile | hl.py
###Adjustments
You can modify the column sizes hardcoded in the script to suit your needs. I acknowledge the code is not the very readable at all, but it serves its purpose well, and has a speed that is comparable to that of tail.
