View apache logs in real time?

[vikins]

Is there a way to grab the log output from apache that the new splitlogs feature is using for the purposes of grepping it in realtime? Since there is no single file storing all the logs for all of the hosted domains you can't use something like "tail -f" either. Thanks!

It depends on what you are trying to see. If your looking to see some better apache server status , then you could try the following:

links --dump 1 http://localhost:80/whm-server-status|grep ^[0-9]|awk 'BEGIN {print "Seconds, PID, State, IP, Domain, TYPE, URL\n--"} $4 !~ /[GCRK_.]/ {print $6, $2, $4, $11, $12, $13 " " $14|"sort -n"}'

Thanks, but got the following:
-bash: links: command not found

I am really looking for the raw log entries so that I can grep them in real time.

Thanks again.

hey
install links command using yum and try the above command

watch -n5 links --dump 1 http://localhost:80/whm-server-status|grep ^[0-9]|awk 'BEGIN {print "Seconds, PID, State, IP, Domain, TYPE, URL\n--"} $4 !~ /[GCRK_.]/ {print $6, $2, $4, $11, $12, $13 " " $14|"sort -n"}'

If i understood this properly , and you are looking to grep all logs , then you may try the following:

egrep -R "search string" /usr/local/apache/logs/{access_log,error_log} /usr/local/apache/domlogs/*

Thank you, but I am looking for something that will show realtime, streaming output as if all the logs entries were being written to a single file and I was doing a tail -f on that file.

Maybe something like this then:

ls /usr/local/apache/logs/{access_log,error_log} /usr/local/apache/domlogs/*|xargs tail -f
