Watch a log and/or search for a certain term

If you're developing on a server that has all PHP errors turned off, you can still watch the error log (if you have access to this file). For example on a dreamhost account you could try this:

tail -f /home/account/logs/website.com/http/error.log

As the errors pour in, you will see them come by. Change 'account' to the username you have on dreamhost and website.com to the domainname you host there. If the errors come in large amounts you can filter them by using grep:

tail -f /home/account/logs/website.com/http/error.log | grep -i "search_term"


Now only errors containing 'search_term' will be shown.

Class rename friendly log instance

Use the following to automatically use the current class name for the log category (example is for commons-logging, works with log4j, too):

class Foo {
   private final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(getClass());
}


Compare to the following where the class name is refered to explicitely. If the class is renamed or parts of the codes are copied ("reused") the logging will by misleading.

class Foo {
   private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Foo.class);
}
