remote-tail

Server and client used for sharing of log files over TCP. Simple setup on the server and just as easy as tail -f on the clients.

Dependencies

• Nodejs v. >= 4.1.1
• Windows or any unix-based OS

Install on server/clients

Install nodejs and then call npm install -g remote-tail in console of choice.

Server setup

Share the file errors.log on 127.0.0.1 and port 1685

$ remote-tail -e errors.log

Share the file errors.log on 192.168.10.26 and port 1094

$ remote-tail -e errors.log -h 192.168.10.26 -p 1094

Share the file errors.log on 192.168.10.26 and port 1094 but only allow access for clients coming from either 192.168.* or 97.112.10.21

$ remote-tail -e errors.log -h 192.168.10.26 -p 1094 -a 192.168.*,97.112.10.21

Client setup

Consume the file exposed by 192.168.10.26 on port 1094

$ remote-tail -h 192.168.10.26 -p 1094

TODO

• SSL-support
• Sharing of several files from one server instance.
