Finally found the real time monitoring I was looking for…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

brew install logstalgia<\/a><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Beautiful pong-styled view of access log in realtime when called as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
tail -f \/usr\/local\/var\/log\/httpd\/access_log | logstalgia --sync <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Ends up as a screen like this with pong balls that are the requests from the access log showing the files being accessed by category.  Brilliant!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Logstalia window<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Further, with a sequence of commands, you can push the monitor into the background and exit terminal as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ tail -f \/usr\/local\/var\/log\/httpd\/access_log | logstalgia --sync &\n$ disown\n$ exit<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This leaves logstalgia running in a window that you can place on a desktop for easy access and monitoring. Before disown, you can run “jobs” command to see the process before disown-ing it.  After, it is now missing from “jobs” list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New add – would love sound with this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cool tool!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
