Scenario: A Citrix Administrator is troubleshooting a NetScaler issue. The administrator goes to the command line and from the Shell, tails the ns.log to view the log in real time to find the issue. After a few minutes, the administrator noticed that the logs stopped scrolling and the issue was missed.
How can troubleshooting continue using the ns.log?
The logs are still running but might have temporarily paused, causing the administrator to think that the issue was missed. Pressing 'Enter' should help the logs to resume scrolling in real time, allowing for continuous monitoring.
C: With that in mind, the easiest way to view them “live” is to call the “tail” command, which outputs the last 10 lines of any file passed to it. We can also use the “-f” switch, which will cause it to monitor the files and print any new lines written to them to the console.
