 |
|
Just a quick tip. It took me a while to figure this out and seeing as I really enjoy this feature, I thought I would pass the information on.
First:
Second: In the default /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf file, find the line that says: | Code: | | destination console_all { file("/dev/tty12"); }; |
and change it to: | Code: | | destination console_all { program("ccze -r >> /dev/tty12"); }; |
Third: Restart syslog-ng: | Code: | | /etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart |
and then hit Alt+F12 and start watching your colorized logs.

nice one. I tried it with torsmo which tails a logfile to my rootwindow, but sadly it doesn't work - torsmo doesn't seem to know how to handle those color-codes.

Being a loghost with no X installed, I wanted to find a solution that worked without a user logged on. Hence the ccze + syslog-ng solution.
