Howto: Linux monitor logfiles
Hi!
Linux logfiles are real pain in a$$. I mean there is so much information logged in. For example /var/log/message file. How do you guyes filter log messages? Do you use any automated tool? I have tons of services running but monitoring logfiles is a pain.  I’d be thankful if someone point out tools or script for me
