Tools like tail and less have different inputs, interfaces, and flags, requiring more training for less technical users.
Traditional tools can't tail logs on multiple systems without additional setup.
Filtering and searching means having to pipe to grep, sed, or other tools.
With the web-based Papertrail Event Viewer, you no longer have to tail log files on each of your servers. Gain instant visibility into your devices, apps, and services with real-time updates. Filter incoming messages by time period, origin, or message contents. Set comprehensive access control permissions to limit users to specific devices or files. You can even tail your logs from the command line using the Papertrail CLI.
