[Geoserver-devel] Viewing logs from the web admin GUI

[Andrea A. <aa...@op...>]

Hi,
it is common experience that people have to consult logs
in order to debug GeoServer or just see something about
the latest requests flow.

At the moment the only way is to drop on the command line/remote
terminal and open the log files manually.

I have a little patch that integrates a log viewing page.
The page is really simple, it will scan the log file and report
in a read only text area the last N lines of the log file.
See the attachment.

What do you think, useful? Ok to commit?

I'm also attaching the patch (minus the menu icon, which is
page_white_text.png coming from the Silk set) for anyone
interesting in reviewing or improving the page.

Cheers
Andrea
