Log viewer with automatic highlighting of timestamps, addresses and more
tailspin highlights log files without any setup. Dates, IP addresses, URLs, UUIDs, numbers, paths and keywords like ERROR or WARN are colored automatically. Output opens in a pager, or goes to stdout when piped.
Examples
tspin ./application.log
tspin --follow ./application.log
journalctl -f | tspin
The command is tspin, as upstream. If tspin is not found, run
tailspin.tspin or create the alias:
sudo snap alias tailspin.tspin tspin

sudo snap connect tailspin:removable-media
To read system logs in /var/log (for example /var/log/syslog), run:
sudo snap connect tailspin:log-observe
