# cftail

Tail for cloudformation stacks.

## Installation

- macos: `brew install mindriot101/cftail/cftail`

- source: `cargo install --git https://github.com/mindriot101/cftail`

## Usage

The program requires the name of the stack you wish to tail. Optionally, a timestamp can be specified with the `--since`

argument, which also prints all messages since that time. The format of this argument can be the following:

- a relative offset such as "2m" for two minutes (see the [documentation for the humantime](https://docs.rs/humantime/latest/humantime/fn.parse_duration.html) package).

- a full RFC3339 format datetime with timezone

- an RFC3339 datetime without timezone (assuming UTC)

- a unix timestamp

- either "today" or "yesterday"

In its usual mode, the program waits for stack events and prints with the same colour scheme as the web console.

With the `--nested` flag, any nested stacks will also be included in the output.

```
