- if it exists and will display newly added lines with color highlighting
- If the log file becomes inaccessible, the reason can be the guest has been started hence the current log file was archived and a new one was created
...
- and the continuous view continues with the newly detected log file
...
- This option can work even if the guest is not started

logtail", see Additional command lines

Log edition
Select editor view (1), then the log file (2). The editor will be selected depending on the preferences defined:
NotesNotes:
- When selecting the log file:
- the 'From' date is either based on the first line including a date found in the log file or on file creation time
- the 'To' date corresponds to the date time the file was archived (renamed before guest start)
- It is highly recommended to use '
vim' or 'gvim' (if possible and if installed) to have the benefits of log highlighting
