I would find it very useful. Along with the readonly view, what do you think
about adding a limited search capability? Nothing fancy, just a simple
string query. Also, since log files get closed and named with a .#, could a
selection of which logfile to view be added?

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

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
