background color segmentation on a particular field

[trentm]

Say you have a log file with some context from component="foo" and some from component="bar", etc. An option to say --segment=component that would pick a background color for the "foo" log records and another for the "bar" log records might be helpful. This could be the default when rendering logs from multiple input files, or when (eventually) handling logs output from multiple containers with docker-compose ... output.

Another example might be separate lambda instances in aws logs tail --follow /aws/lambda/${fnname} output.
