The first time you start System Log Viewer, the application displays several log files by default (such as /var/log/messages). Opened logs are listed on the left side of the application window. The log selected in this list is displayed in the main area of the application window.

By default, System Log Viewer monitors every opened log, and any change appears automatically in the main window. See 3.4항 ― To Monitor Logs for more information.
