Tail GeoIP data on a world map in realtime.

npm i -g maptail

# pipe logs into maptailtail -f my-logs| maptail# open the UI at http://localhost:3000

• --silent: suppress stdout output
• --logs: show logs on screen (default: true)
• --port <port>: port to listen on (default: env PORT or 3000)

You can embed maptail into an existing Node/Express HTTP server via a reusable middleware. It will intercept all writes to stdout (i.e from your logs) and serve the UI to the specified endpoint.
