In reply to Kunal. First you have to install sysstat packges yum install sysstat and second one is access.log so basically according to me access.log genrate when we install apache or Nginx service in our OS.

For the exercise i wrote small node utility that does the same thing as tail -f f1 f2 f3. Splex: npmjs.com/package/splex The main "upgrade" is that lines are color coded per file name, and that you can have table-like interface. Another improvement, actually main reason I wrote this, is the ability to have .splexrc.json files in different folders, so instead having to type tail -f f1 f2 f3 in one folder, then different files in other, you can write .splexrc.json file in root of your project and just type splex without file list arguments and it automatically stream relevant logs you enumerated in config file.

In reply to Kunal. @Kunal, Could you check that the service syslog is running using following command.

$ service syslog status

If it is not running, then re-configure it using following command.

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure inetutils-syslogd
