Rtail – Terminal output to the browser using Unix pipes

Wow! This is really cool! I would love to use this at my workplace. I had a small problem, though: it seems the clients don't keep very much data.

For example, I filtered based on an expression that matched about 1-2 lines per second. The lines appeared, but disappeared almost as quickly. I suspect there is some small client-side buffer that I'm overrunning almost instantly; the log stream I used produces about 500 lines per second. Is this too much for the tool? Can I tune it to work with that load?

Yeah, so the filter uses the internal buffer which is 100 lines. you can easily hack it to make it bigger (there is a closed github issue to look at for instructions). I don't want to make bigger buffers available just yet. I want to rewrite the webapp using ng2 and use an infinite scroll for the lines view. Feel free to open a new issue if you want!
