Отображение /var/log/messages используя web-server?

cd /var/log/
apatsev@apatsev-lws02 /var/log $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...
127.0.0.1 - - [11/May/2017 19:47:22] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -

  location /log/ {
    autoindex on;
    root   /var/log;
  }

#!/usr/bin/python

import SimpleHTTPServer
import SocketServer

PORT = 8000

Handler = SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
Handler.extensions_map.update({
    '.webapp': 'application/x-web-app-manifest+json',
    '.log': 'text/plain',
});

httpd = SocketServer.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler)

print "Serving at port", PORT
httpd.serve_forever()

надо сделать ссылку ln -s /var/log/syslog /var/log/syslog.txt

Тогда в браузере будет открываться текст

<Location "/log">
    Options +Indexes
</Location>

Alias "/log" "/var/log"

rsyslog.conf
