]]>The developer of logtail
has not made the repository available via yum
for quick installation. Even if you don’t want to access logtail
from the command line, it is still used by several other scripts and plugins, such as the Nginx plugins for Munin. The easiest way to do this is to install logcheck
, which includes logtail
. You can use rpm
to handle the install, but you will need to install some dependencies first.
Use rpm
to install the logtail
dependencies in the order below – liblockfile
, lockfile-progs
, perl-mime-construct
, and perl-Proc-WaitState
. If you already have one of these packages rpm
should let you know when you try to re-install it.
rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/fedora/epel/5/i386/liblockfile-1.08-9.el5.i386.rpm

perl-mime-construct
was already installed.
rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/fedora/epel/5/i386/perl-Proc-WaitStat-1.00-2.el5.noarch.rpm

perl-Proc-WaitStat
was already installed.
Now we’re ready to install logcheck
. Use the following rpm
to wrap up the install.
rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/fedora/epel/5/i386/logcheck-1.3.13-6.el5.noarch.rpm
Retrieving ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/fedora/epel/5/i386/logcheck-1.3.13-6.el5.noarch.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:logcheck ########################################### [100%]
Now that logcheck
is installed, you should be able to call logtail
from the command line, or other scripts and plugins.
[root@web1 ~]# logtail No logfile to read. Use -f [LOGFILE].
