Why we developed this tool?

After installing Squid+Dansguardian on our server, we wanted a way for less tech-literate employees to be able to observer log files on the Server.

How it works

It uses AJAX calls to a web server, which executes a PHP program which uses tail via shell_exec on the local server to retrieve the log file.

How to Install it

1. Download it and extract it to your server under the web directory
2. Change line 2 of log/getLog.php to specify the file you wish to display.

   define("LOG_FILE","");
   

3. Lines 21 and 22 of log/getLog.php reflect additional parameters you wish to filter out

   $exp[0]=SERVER_IP;
   $exp[1]="getLog.php";
   

4. Use log/index.php to view the log file
