IntelliJ read remote server log file

Question

Do you have any idea how can I setup my Remote configuration to display a log file on the server instead of on my local machine?

On the edit configuration screen (Logs tab) I have the option to show a log file, but only logs from my machine, not from the remote server.

I don't mind if I have to install any plugin for it, but until now I couldn't find any that did what I want.

Thanks!

Answer 1

See this JetBrains plugin. I've just installed it myself. You can create a remote debug session from Intellij with your server and than point the logs with Log4JPlugin.

For remote debug connections check this

You can track your logs directly via SSH

ssh your_server tail -f /to/your/log_file
