lubyruffy / tail

ruby gem, which provides possibility to see your Rails application .log files via browser

##Description

Tail command for your .log files via browser. In order to have a quick access to your .log files this gem provides *nix tail command functionality to your Rails application. If something goes wrong you don't have to ssh to your server anymore. Now you have normal scroll and search in browser instead of nano, eamacs, vim, mcedit - name it.

Also you can highlight any particular string you are looking for.

##Installation

After this, you will see all your .log files available at /tail path.

Of course, you can mount it at: "/whatevername" you like.

If you use Devise for authentication, gem will use it also.
