Colorize log output with ack Posted on October 10, 2009 by garret Adding color to log files makes them a lot easier to understand, especially when tailing them. That’s why tools like MultiTail were created, and some logging tools can output in color. Last night I realized color could be added to any log file using ack, an awesome grep replacement that I recently found. For example, to make 404s red in a standard Apache access log: $ tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log \ | ack —passthru —color-match=red “^.* 404 .*$” The —passthru option makes it so no lines are discarded. You can use multiple colors by piping the output through ack multiple times. The —flush option is needed to prevent pipe buffering issues and the —color option is needed to pass colors through. Here’s an example: $ tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log \ | ack —flush —passthru —color —color-match=green “^.* 200 .*” \ | ack —flush —passthru —color —color-match=yellow “^.* 302 .*” \ | ack —flush —passthru —color —color-match=red “^.* 404 .*” (via Colorize log output with ack | powdahound.com)

A few weeks ago I gave a presentation at Weiss Tech House encouraging Penn students with ideas for new businesses to found their own startups. I talked about how I met my co-founder (Iqram and I were randomly selected as freshman year roommates at Penn), ran through the long list of things we have worked on together, and explained how and why we started Venmo.

For slides, I used screenshots of past projects and some photos. This one (from our junior year, I think), captures a lot of the sentiment that inspired Venmo. We are building a service friends can use to exchange money, and this is how we’d like you to feel every time you use our apps.
