Watching Apache Logs
Is it odd to keep a terminal tab open on your Apache log?
I do: watch “tail -n 100 access_log | grep -v bot | grep -v spider | grep -v css | grep -v javascript | grep -v service | grep -v Yahoo | grep -v fetcher | grep -v png | grep -v jpg | grep -v gif | grep -v Mediapartners | grep -v favicon | grep -v 137.165”
I used to have an app I wrote that visualized the log using ajax polling, which was kind of cool because it could show me streams of how people navigated around.
