[Solved] viewing log in real time

[admiincomp]

How can I monitor everything that occurs in real time. I used to be able to use tail -f on syslog but there is no syslog any more.

Code: Select all

$ journalctl -f

or root # if user not allowed.

Note that you can also have the systemd journal forward all[*] messages to syslog (e.g. rsyslogd).

[*] the systemd journal can miss events, due to various rate limiting options.

You can also disable the systemd journal completely and use exclusively rsyslogd, but it's quite messy.
