Read logs from external disk (S3 Bucket Case)

Any way of reading log files from an s3 disk instead of from local storage/logs?

@rodrigolopespt hey! It might be very slow & inefficient to index & read logs from a remote source, hence I haven't done this yet. Log Viewer does a lot of fseek() and fgets() calls to incrementally read the file line by line and to index the datetime, type, and location of each file. It does not load the whole file into memory, and that's why Log Viewer can easily parse 1 GB+ log files with just ~40 MB of RAM used. And for that reason, I think it would be too inefficient from a remote location like S3 storage.

That's just my assumption, though, I haven't actually tried it.
