Log Trace
Hi

I would like to display only error messages from my log files while monotring application on my solaris box using tail command.

Is there other way we can monitor please let me know?

In general # tail -f "xyz.log' ---> this will display current activity of the logs, instead i would like to see data to be displayed only if error occured.

If you have some other solution do let me know?

Thnaks in Advance

Regards
Krishna

The more clear way:

Modify /etc/syslog.cof file to throw the errors of specific reigon in the system. Like, if you want to monitor kernal related errors, modify the same file as:

kern.err /var/adm/kern.err

When you will watch that file, it will only be coming with errors.

thanks,
Deepak
