OSX Tip: Use Console.app to view cusom log files

I have been using my terminal to watch apache/php log files, but found out that the OSX app Console.app can do the work for you.

The app is really missing the feature to add new log files, but there’s a few workarounds.

First workaround

1. Start your Terminal.app
2. ln -s ~/Library/log/Apache /path/to/logfiles/
3. Open Console.app
4. And you can see an “Apache” folder with the containing log files

Second workaround

1. Start your Terminal.app
2. open -a Console /path/to/logfile.log
