The fetchlog utility displays the last new messages of a logfile.
|
|
It is similar like tail (1) but offers some extra functionality like
|
|
pattern matching with regular expressions or 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.
