Hey all, I'm trying to follow the SN Instance Maintenance Recommended Practices guide, and I'm trying read through a really, really, really large log file. It's 160mb. That's too big for Notepad or Notepad++. I was wondering what you all use to view these sorts of files.
ctomasi, what does ServiceNow use to view these files?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hey Andrew,
Just a suggestion, have you tried using the more command for Linux since you're just trying to read the files? If you're not editing them, or if you're on Windows there's a program called baretail, https://www.baremetalsoft.com/baretail/, that's just meant for reading log files. Hope this helps!

I usually use vi or TextWrangler (Mac).
Windows users?

This worked! Thanks! I was going crazy trying to review a 1.3gb log file!
