Sometimes we need to check out the logs or we can say real-time logs occurring on the server for a particular
service. For example: to check the logs for a website or for mail or for a database but at the same time when you’re using that service on your end locally or remotely.
So the Tail command is quite useful to check for the real-time logs of the particular service on the server with the -f option.
[[email protected] ~]# tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log
So the above command will continuously show the real-time logs for the httpd error on the website.
