Hihglithing profile for .log files

[Michele]

Hello everyone,

do you know how to define a custom highlighting profile for a type of
file, let's say a .log file?
It would be nice if it is possible to activate the highlithing profile
just opening the file as well as the auto-revert-tail-mode, in order
to use emacs as a log viewer.
Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

Which .log file? Do you have an idea how many types of files call  
themselves or are called .log files?

Sorry, I was not clear.

Whay I would like to do is define if a CUSTOM profile for my .log
files. It doesn't matter what kind of .log files, because I would like
to define by myself the custom profile which of course would fit my
needs. So for example if in a C code I'm used to see a comment in
green, in my log files i would like to see a whole line which contain
the word error highligthed in red (it is just an example).
Once that i defined the profile, however, I would like that every
times that i open a log file in emacs, my highlighting rules would be
applied and the auto-revert-tail-mode as well.

Thank you for your answer.
