Carly Jacobson wrote that the server log is a log file created and updated by a server. A common example is the access log generated by Apache (open source Web server software), which provides a history of Web page requests. However, Apache does not just collect access information, it also collects information about error logs, and collects ID file processes, script records, and read and write logs. A server may generate multiple log files, and the check log can gain feedback on server activity and performance to identify and resolve problems that may arise. However, the system administrator may be faced with information overload, checking the log is a very time-consuming task. Therefore, the log File Viewer can help reduce work pressure and filter out the extra information in the log. Linuxlinks's article describes five excellent log file viewers. Includes: MultiTail, view multiple log file windows in console, log file Viewer under System log viewer,gnome, log file Viewer under Ksystemlog,kde 4, and so on.
