wpalmer/mtail repository overview

⁠mtail, dockerized

This wraps mtail⁠ in a docker container, so that you can start using it immediately.

By default, logs will be read from /var/spool/mtail, and progs from /etc/mtail. The logs directory is scanned on launch, and no attempt is made to detect additions or removals from that directory.

By default, mtail will listen on port 9197

Basic usage:

docker run --rm wpalmer/mtail \
  -v /var/log/syslog:/var/spool/mtail \
  -v $HOME/mtail/myprogs:/etc/mtail
