[gltail] Configuration Questions

[Erlend Simonsen]

1) Color is [Red, Green, Blue, Alpha], with each value between 0.0 and 1.0.
So, [1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0] would give red, while [1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0] would
give yellow.

You can also use some preconfigured colors, white, red, green, blue, yellow,
cyan, magenta, purple, orange and pink are built in and usable via

color: magenta

2) That's just an example to show that you can use multiple sites/hosts with
different log-file parsers and configurations. The 2nd examples connects
over SSH on port 222, and expects a Ruby on Rails production logfile instead
of an apache logfile.
