I am try to debug an nginx configuration file withtail -f /var/log/nginx/error.logwith error logging level set to debug (very verbose).the amount text the passed into error.log is maybe 5-10 screens worth.When I scroll up to view the entire debug entry, bash doesn't allow scrolling up that far, so I only have some of the debug entry viewable.  Is it possible to get bash to allow viewing/scrolling to more than just a few screens worth of previous history?
How to increase the amount of previous command text bash will scroll to?
bash
I am not sure I understood your question but...If you have a gnome terminal or similar, you can try to:in your terminal:(right button   select profile    profile preferences       scrollingand change the number of lines for scrolling
