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 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.
