First, for live analasys of of your logs you will want to turn off metalogs
buffering by running:
killall -USR1 metalog
I usually read my logs with view (which is basically vi[m])
Or, for live analasys I use tail, which shows your logs as
your logging daemon writes the logs.
To turn metalogs buffers back on:
killall -USR2 metalog
