Real Time File logger or rtfilelogger for short, is a simple desktop application written in Python. The tool allows you to read text\log\non-binary files in real time. It also allows you to pause or resume reading files. The tool is cross-platform.
Due to my limited time, the tool has some bugs, but it works for the most part :)
How to run:
- Make sure you have Python 3, preferrably Python 3.6.
- Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/minaandrawos/RealTimeFileLogger.git. - Run
python rtfilelogger.py, assuming that thepythoncommand invokes python3 in your terminal, otherwise the command is likelypython3. - In Linux, you might need to run
sudo apt-get install python3-tk.
That's it. The project does not use any third party packages. It relies on Tkinter for the UI, which in a lot of cases comes pre-loaded with Python.
How to use the tool?
The tool consists of only two buttons:
- Add New File: Opens a new file for monitoring. The file will open in a new tab.
- Play/Pause: Pauses or resumes the read operation of the currently selected file.
