40.4. Monitoring Log Files


System Log Viewer monitors all opened logs by default. If a new line is added to a monitored log file, the log name appears in bold in the log list. If the log file is selected or displayed, the new lines appear in bold at the bottom of the log file and after five seconds are displayed in normal format. This is illustrated in the figures below. The figure below illustrates a new alert in the messages log file. The log file is listed in bold text.
