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
Thank you Fajar.

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.

And I think you want -F (not -f) so your tail will follow the file /var/log/messages across logrotates.

Hi there --
I have been using rsyslog with the LogAnalyzer software to monitor our systems logs.
