# logmux

Logmux tails multiple log files, labels their lines and outputs everything in

one stream - Much like docker-compose, but simply for local log files!

# Installation

```bash

pip install logmux

```

# Usage

```bash

logmux first.log second.log test/third.log

```

This will tail all three log files. New lines will be prefixed with the name of

the log file it came from, e.g. `first: ` for the first log file and `third: `

for the last one.

You can customize the labels by providing them as a query parameter for each

file:

```bash

logmux "first.log?label=custom" second.log test/third.log

```

This will prefix all lines from the first file with `custom: `. You'll need to

quote the argument like in this example to make sure that your shell is not

going to split it.

It's also possible to set the color of the label:

```bash

logmux "first.log?label=custom&color=blue" "second.log?color=red" test/third.log

```

  log files in one or more windows. Logmux takes a more simple approach by just

  printing to stdout.
