There are several things you can do. It depends on what your preferences are. My favorite is to open up a shell and run tail --follow=name /var/log/whatever. That way I get a big scroll back buffer to be able to view more than just what is left on the screen. Another thing you could do is you could add entries into /etc/syslog.conf to send the output to an unused tty's, or you could use the redhat-logviewer.
