Issue
My setup:
- Red Hat with:
- Weblogic installation which hosts my (java) application.
What I try to achieve: See the output (an error) of my application
Why I this way and not easier (set proper logging on the application itself):
- This is a production server of a big company, I am not allowed to do any changes to the running applications
- In the application something goes wrong and I am tasked with fixing it.
- I checked the weblogic logs but they dont capture all the output of the application, and thus it does not capture the error im searching for.
So is there a way I can sort of connect to stdout/stderr and see the output printed live? (other suggestions are also most welcome but if its possible this seems like the easiest way to go?)
Extra info:
- I have checked and confirmed the application writes to console, so it should appear in stdout. (right?)
Solution
Unless I misunderstand your question, you want to tail the logs.
Navigate to the directory where your logs are stored and run
tail -f LOGNAME.log
This should print to your console live any additional log lines that are added.
