title: Live web log viewer for tomcat catalina.out
body: <p>With a standard webapp running in Tomcat with the Spring Framwork and Log4J logging to catalina.out I need to have a better access to logs than manual SSH and <code>tail -f catina.out</code></p>
  
  <p>I already know of some solution like logstash, ... but they require to send the log to a centralized server. I went through a lot of answers of various websites but none satisfies my needs. I just want to have access to the logs in a web browser on the same web server. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any simple and straightforward way to do that ?</p>
  
  <h1>Update</h1>
  
  <p>I want to to that because I cannot always SSH and <code>tail -f</code> the logs because of the firewall IP security. I need to be able to see these logs from anywhere as long as I have an internet access to such a secure live web console.</p>
