Virtual machine log view

Usage

The log files can also be edited from the menu → "Service management" → "View latest guest log file"

Description

Uses 'vim' editor to view a CHARON virtual machine log file with highlights.

If <logfile> is empty, the script will look for available log files in the virtual machines list managed by the Toolkit. If only one is managed, the current log will be selected, if more than one virtual machine is present, a selection menu will appear.

It is recommended to enlarge the current terminal window to at least 132 columns. If using the graphical version of 'vim' (# logview -g) the window size is set to 32 lines and 160 columns by default.

Parameters

-h            : display help text

-g or --gui   : use 'gvim' instead of 'vim' (if installed)

-s or --short : edit a copy of the log file without 'regular license check'  messages

Example

For ease of use, it is also possible to copy the charonlog.vimrc file to $HOME/.vimrc. Doing so will make 'vim' highlight log lines by default (if you prefer to use 'vim' rather than 'logview')
