How to Grep Last 10 Minutes of a Log in Linux

linuxweblogic

I'm looking for a way to only look through the last 10 mins of a WebLogic log file that has line formatting like this.

####<Sep 21, 2018 1:56:20 PM EDT> <Notice> <Stdout>

I want to grep for a specific string and if it fails wait 60 seconds and try again. This would be for RHEL 7, and I'm open to using sed, awk, etc.

Since you're using RHEL 7 WebLogic is probably using systemd now. Which means you can take advantage of journalctl and the --since option.

From this article https://www.qualogy.com/techblog/oracle/introducing-weblogic-to-systemd# it looks like you'll use either wls_nodemanager or wls_adminserver or both. To view both use:

journalctl -u wls_nodemanager -u wls_adminserver --since "10min ago"

I asked this question over on SO and it got moved here. That said I no longer have the ability to edit the question as if I owned it, or even accept the correct answer, but this turned out to be the true reason why and how to solve it:

Found here User "rohandhruva" on there gives the right answer:

This happens if you change the hostname during the install process.

To solve the problem, edit the file /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 <ADD_YOURS_HERE> 
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 <ADD_YOURS_HERE>

Linux command line best practices and tips

Use screen, a free terminal multiplexer developed by the GNU Project that will allow you to have several terminals in one.

You can start a session and your terminals will be saved even when you connection is lost, so you can resume later or from home.
