I am a little lost. So tailgate is installed on each of the servers or one central nodejs server which tails the logs from all the servers and sends it out via socket.io?

Don't know how they are running it, but both are technically feasible. the pragmatic thing to do would be to have either central log server or a proxy that accesses the logs of all servers

There's a slick demo of this running at:

One thing that I don't like is that any interaction with the windows completely fill your browser history.

It's a windows-in-html simulating tail by vimeo.com Hands up if you were expecting a Vim plugin.
