Prerequisites

  1. In the configuration login, password, hostname, and log file location are fulfilled.
  2. The hostname is valid and known to the system where IDE is running.

Idea behind it

If your application produces a lot of logs (it should!) you probably care about logs to be easily accessible. No additional software is needed. Logs are available in the bottom pane of IDE.
