Tool for watching "log file"

[arun2arunraj]

Hi Developers,

    Is there any "WYSIWYG" tool for checking log files. If there is anything, share it with me. Because , keeping the log through texteditor might irritates.

RHQ does not yet have a good mechanism for performing full logfile storage and analysis.  It has only the Event subsystem, which perform logfile crawling and looks for log entries matching user-defined patterns.  Matching log entries are then converted to RHQ Events, which can be used for inspection and alerting.

Hi Jay Shaughnessy,

    Can you specify Events with example ? I could not get the idea behind it, that is why I am asking again.

Arun,

There is an Events feature wiki page you might like to read. RHQ does not provide a way to "view log files". If you're looking for an advanced solution for your logs you could consider using Logstash.

Hi Thomas,

    Thanks for LOGSTASH. I will use it, and get back to you soon with feedback of it.

    Thanks for the WIKI Page too.

Hi Thomas,

    Logstash, seems to be a Access Log monitoring tool. Is there any Error Log Monitoring tool like highlighting the errors or grouping the errors or something like that ? ? ? .

As I mentioned above, the RHQ Event subsystem is a log monitoring tool.  It looks for patterns in log entries and generated RHQ Events when a match is found.  The Events can them be inspected via the GUI, accessed via the CLI, etc.  And can also triggr RHQ Alerts.  See https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/RHQ/Events.
