Description:
KmTail is a KDE4 version of the venerable Ktail program. It has pretty much the same features and allows you to monitor various log files. Note that most files in /var/log are only root-readable so you will have to start KmTail with kdesu for it to be useful.
KmTail now does its own file tailing, external programs are no longer used.
KmTail now supports reading from named pipes. You can drive the pipe from syslog-ng and this permits exposing the syslog facility and priority information, thus allowing much better high-lighting of log messages.
Since KmTail 0.9 date/time extraction is possible to convert non-standard log files into the syslog format, increasing legibility. Presets are provided for many common log file formats and you may also specify our own. What's This popups provide some guidance on regexps and templates. It is also possible to specify the number of columns (fields) the message is parsed into, which will also increase legibility for certain logs.
