pipeview

A command line pipe inspection utility.

Why?

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

Usage

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

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

Nginx

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

$ cat test/demo_nginx_access_log | pipeview --nginx

Custom configs

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:

[foo]
regex="^(.*?) (.*?) (.*?): (.*?) (.*)"
colors="red green blue red green"

Installation

Building from source

$ cargo install pipeview
