Hi all, Currently I do 'tail -f /var/log/messages | grep something' to monitor/tune in my iptables rules.
Based on your experience, is there any tools do that better like:
- color
- grepping multiple keywords
- some statistic
I don't know about any tools for this, but I did want to point out that grep can handle multiple keywords.
$ tail -f /var/log/messages | grep -e keyword1 -e keyword2 -e keyword3
Also, current versions of grep have the '-P' flag to allow use of Perl regular expressions for more complex matches.
