tail color output

README.md

multiWatch.sh

An awk snippet for color highlighting Apache Logs pumped to the pipe with tail -f. Based on some basic awk RegEx and bash color codes. Keep in mind that this is generally really basic stuff and more than 10 years old. We don't do things like that anymore.

Example output

What's next

I want to make it more flexibel with json configuration. I'm thinking about an implementation with npm Tail, jVectorMap and some HTML websockets - An event based architecture which triggers a web app, console output, mail notifications and so on.
