Linux Monitoring system

[andreea9322]

I'm looking for the best tool to monitor the Linux system. I've found a lot of interesting tools searching the web but I didn't find one which can do all the requirments (like a one in all tool). I would prefer it to include a command line interface also.

Thank you,
Andreea

Hi Andrea,

For the task you're asking I usuallyy like to KISS on it.
So I simply use the comand tail with the -f option that allows me to monitor in reall time my logs. the 'f' stands for follow.

For instance to see in real time who's accessing my server i do:

tail -f /var/log/myserverlogs/access.log

You can also use tail to see more than one log like this:

tail -f access.log error.log

I hope this helps you.

Cheers!
