5 of the best Linux free log file viewers

Carly Jacob bson wrote, "server logs are log files created and updated by a server. A common example is the access log generated by Apache (open source web server software), which provides the history of web page requests. However, Apache not only collects access information, but also collects relevant information for error logs, as well as collection of ID file processes, script records, and read and write logs. A server may generate multiple log files, and check logs can receive feedback on Server Activity and performance to identify and solve possible problems. However, the system administrator may be overloaded with information. It is quite time-consuming to check logs. Therefore, the log file viewer can help reduce the workload and filter out unnecessary information in the log. This article of linuxlinks introduces five excellent log file viewers. Including multitail, viewing multiple log file windows in the console, System Log Viewer, Log File Viewer in GNOME, and Log File Viewer in ksystemlog and KDE 4.
