The fetchlog utility displays the last new messages of a logfile.
|
||
|
It is similar like tail (1) but offers some extra functionality for
|
||
|
output formatting. To show only the new messages appeared since the
|
||
|
last call fetchlog uses a bookmark to remember which messages have
|
||
|
been fetched.
|
||
|
|
||
|
fetchlog works on syslog generated logfiles as well as other logfiles.
|
||
|
|
||
|
fetchlog can be used standalone or as a Nagios (TM) plugin. Together
|
||
|
with Net-SNMP one can look at/monitor new messages in remote logfiles.
