Log Review Functionality

[stevefxp]

Hello all,

Is there any functionality within Zabbix to review Zabbix logs? If no whats the straigh forward way to review the zabbix logs?

What do you mean with review? Like something that analyzes logs and tells you that something might be wrong? No, there is no such thing...

No...just to be able to read the logs while Zabbix is up. I am trying to troubleshoot a proxy to main server issue and with the Zabbix server process up the log is not viewable. I even shut the process down and cannot copy the log off.

less, tail, cat, grep, awk etc etc etc.. all the nice linux command line tools to manipulate logs. scp to transfer logs. Need to have appropriate rights of course to access the logfile(s)...
I don't understand the "with the Zabbix server process up the log is not viewable".. As long as I have needed, I can always use tail -f to monitor moving file (or less and F (capital f)). With a debug level usually useless to try to look on that.. Just moves too fast..
