[SOLVED] how to monitor specific ip address in squid access.log

struggled_newbie · 06-20-2010, 08:30 PM

hello linux gurus

I'm trying the tail -f 172.16.X.XX /var/log/squid/access.log
to view the sites requested by the client ip 172.16.X.XX but the result is
it still open all the ip's requesting for the internet access.

is there any tail commands that can monitor only the specific IP address requesting for internet access.

to the moderator(tinkster)/owner: sorry for my impatience

pipe the output of tail -f to grep and use grep to filter the results. Like tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log | grep 172.16.*.*
