I am looking for a solution that would allow me to use color highlighting to a set of important output messages inside iTerm terminal application.

Things to highlight:

  • application logs file warnings, errors and fatals (apache, nginx, tomcat)
  • compiler output
  • other similar errors/warnings

enter image description here

what exactly is your question here? If it's the question in the title, what do you mean with "optimal"? – patrix♦ Sep 4 '12 at 13:15
Hmm - let me see if I can help - you have some of the answer in the question. As edited, it's still a bit too much in the category of "•every answer is equally valid: “What’s your favorite ______?” •your answer is provided along with the question, and you expect more answers: “I use ______ for ______, what do you use?” – bmike♦ Sep 4 '12 at 13:46

Here is my current set

(?i:.*error.*)                     // Yellow on Black
(?i:.*(warning|warn).*)            // Orange on Black
(?i:.*FATAL.*)                     // White on Red

You are welcome to improve it :)
