There is an option in gxtail to connect to remote logs and it has fields for authentication, but when I populate those fields it does not work.

 

is it supposed to work? Am I missing something?

@christopherlecky , it should work as far as I know.  I know I have viewed remote logs before.

Does it give any error, or just do nothing?

Might need a support case.

That explains it, I was getting a port connection error even though I knew there was no connectivity issue. 

 

So two questions

  1. Will this ever become default behavior?
  2. Is a service restart required on the client?

In the Command Center, if you do a view logs at the server level, it will allow you to tail logs live for any client.  You get alot of the features such as filters and markers.   It works great for when you can not get access to log files on another client.

I find myself is the Java console more often than not since command center isn't yet feature complete.

So this is great to know. 

Much better solution. 

Thanks.
