kale

Kale (colour-tail → cail → kale) behaves similarily to tail's live-follow mode, but with extra support for highlighting streamed text.

Stability Index

2, Evolving - This project is healthy, but might lack testing or documentation or it is prone to breaking changes

Usage

kale

Kale is built to help find important logs; for example:

kale --whole Timeout < /var/log/syslog | less

# or
cat /var/log/syslog | kale --whole Timeout | less

highlights timeout logs and passes them to less to let you scroll through highlighted text.

Installation

On Linux distributions that support Snap packages, run:

sudo snap install kale
