How to monitor more than one log file at a time

Is there any Java API to monitor more than one log file at a time. i.e.in 开发者_开发百科TailerListener we are able to monitor a single log file.

Please let me know if any Java API or any simple methods to monitor more than one log file.

Take a look at JNotify. It uses the Linux inotify subsystem.

From the web page:

JNotify is a java library that allow java application to listen to file system events, such as:
 - File created 
 - File modified 
 - File renamed 
 - File deleted

There are a couple of other inotify implementations for java out there, and this is a good article on the topic.

• inotify-java
• JFileNotify

Simply create multiple Tailer objects using the same TailerListener instance.

I am not sure i understand the question. what exactly are you trying to do?

and did you try using log4j? if i understand the question you can make as many different log files as you like.
