A few days ago I was visiting one of my favorite sites (commandlinefu) and read something about “Color Highlighted Log Viewing” so I tried it and was instantly hooked. According to it’s website: “CCZE is a robust and modular log colorizer with plugins for apm, exim, fetchmail, httpd, postfix, procmail, squid, syslog, ulogd, vsftpd, xferlog, and more”
Usage is really simple. Just install it:
yum install ccze (Red Hat/CentOS)
apt-get install ccze (Debian/Ubuntu)
And use it like:
tail -f -n 50 /var/log/syslog | ccze
You will see something like this:
CCZE Colored logs
