File Tailing

Monitor log files and stream new lines as they're written. Perfect for watching application logs, system logs, or any text file.

How It Works#

Logger watches the file for changes and streams new lines in real-time:

  • Load existing: Optionally load existing content when starting
  • Live tailing: New lines appear instantly as they're written
  • File rotation: Handles log rotation gracefully

Works with any text file that uses newlines as record separators.

How to use

  1. Add a file source pointing to /var/log/app.log
  2. Enable "Load existing" to see historical logs
