Grep 2 lines from tail -f output

[TSch]

Hi folks,

I'd like to monitor a continously growing logfile.

Each new entry of the logfile consists of about 5 lines.

Problem is I need only 2 lines of the output of each new logifle entry (e.g.):

File: ...
Status: ...

I don't need the other lines.

If I do something like that:

tail -f logfile | grep Status

I only get 1 line.

Is there any way to also get the second line ?

Thanks in advance !

Regards
Thomas

Perhaps tail -f | egrep 'File|Status'

I want to be good, is that not enough?
