I take these things a step further - I pipe the output through a filter and then push it to an MQTT queue so that it can be acted on if necessary. Lets you have responsive events based on things happening which can be handy.
Nice! I really should take the time to learn the Linux journal a little better. I was just running “watch -n1 systemctl status nginx” before, however this way is clearly how the cool kids do it 😎
Yeah, while I philosophically disagree with binary logs, journal logs are mostly easy to work with and the tools (journalctl and its many flags) are good enough for most use cases.
You are almost certainly correct, and I do call it that most of the time, I just think it would be funny for all of us to pronounce it differently than the creators intended :-D
Journalctl almost always messes up my terminal when I'm not following the logs and just paging through. Do you have any additional tips that I could use Dave? Or is there a way where I could open the journal without the -f and then midway start following? Like in "less" where you can just say Shift+F (something I learnt from your older video) and automatically start following the logs? Also, keep up the wonderful style of your videos. Love the general music, vibe and subtle humour :)
Terminator is a great terminal (for me the best terminal) that you can split in multiples views. It would have been useful for this video to show the 2 views simultaneously.
Came for the tips, stayed for the smooth, easy listening
Music is so relaxing. Love the content. keep it up
I love this kind of knowledge pills taught with these examples
Love these videos with nice easy soft and low volume background music
Thank you, Sir, 🙏🌺😇

journalctl -u nginx | less # maybe +F (command line or in less) so you can search and scrooll back or watch more output as it comes (as with -f)
This is great content. Thanks.
Always learning something watching these :D
I always called ctl "control"

The best tip is called RTFM :)
Great channel! Q: what Linux do you use in your videos? minubuntu on oracle VM? where do you download minibuntu ?
@tutorialLinux
Thanks! I should use this more.
Hi! This only replaces syslog/rsyslog, isn't it? I mean, the access.log files are cat'ed the old way?

Me watching video while using sysklogd:
Hmm... Interesting 🧐
systemd will take over linux (and thats a good thing)
