System Log Viewer is a graphical, menu-driven viewer to view and monitor system logs. System Log Viewer comes with a few functions that can help you manage your logs, including a log monitor and log statistics display.
System Log Viewer is useful if you are new to system administration because it provides an easier, more user-friendly display of your logs than a text display of the log file.
It is also useful for more experienced administrators, as it contains a monitor to enable you to continuously monitor important logs.

- Simple to use.
- Live view that automatically refreshes.

- Xorg.
