Live tail: View log messages in real time

Problem

When you deploy a new host or server, or make other application changes, you want to immediately see how your system responds to these changes. You need to view your log messages as they arrive in real time.

Solution

To focus on messages as they arrive in real time, enable live tail logging:

1. Go to one.newrelic.com > All capabilities > Logs.

2. Enter a query to focus on the type of log info you need, then click Query logs. An example query:

   Find logs where annotations.restartRequested:"2020-12-23T18:00:00Z"

   コピー

3. On the right, click Live tail to enable or disable it.
