Show logs in admin panel on windows machine [FEATURE REQ]

Post by arvobowen »

Why is it that OTRS developers decided to hate on Windows users and not show the logs in the web GUI like they do on UNIX based systems? It seems like such a simple thing to implement...

it is technically not possible. The log you see in the admin frontend is stored in a shared memory segment of the webserver, this is only possible on UNIX based systems.

Could it not be checked manually (or automatically) when on that page then simply show the results of the file. I wouldn't see why not, it's simple enough to do in basic php. Open a file, read it, display it on a page.
