Remote logs over ssh with ssh-keys

[TonAtLacework]

I cannot find the right syntax to view a remote log file over ssh using ssh-keys.

Any help?

Your ssh config needs to be setup so that ssh'ing to the machine does not put up any prompts. Once that is done, the syntax is [<user>@]hostname:/path/to/file. For example:

$ lnav [email protected]:/var/log/messages.

So....., i have two questions about this:

1. What if i need to use a ssh key (ssh -i ), what does the lnav syntax look like?
2. What if i need sudo on the server side to see the messages? (sudo tail -f but then using lnav).
