pipeview

A command line pipe inspection utility.

Why?

[x] Simple coloring of an input pipe with regex and colors as input args.
[x] Multiple custom configs in the form of a pipeview.toml file in current folder or ~/.config/.
[ ] Progress bar (same as Linux's pv) - WIP.

Explicit coloring can be performed on the input based on a regular expression.

bash $ cat test/demo_nginx_access_log | pipeview "^(.*?) - - \\[(.*?)\\] \"(.*?) .*?\" (.*?) .*? \".*?\" \"(.*?)\"" 'bgreen white yellow cyan blue'

Nginx and aim logs can be directly inspected using the --nginx or --aim flag:

bash $ cat test/demo_nginx_access_log | pipeview --nginx

You can create a config in ~/.config/pipeview.toml or the current folder with filename pipeview.toml and call it using pipeview --config=foo.

An example custom config could be: toml [foo] regex="^(.*?) (.*?) (.*?): (.*?) (.*)" colors="red green blue red green"

bash $ cargo install pipeview
