Remote Tail
 

Remote Tail is an IntelliJ IDEA plugin for viewing log files remotely.

The plugin allows the user to view the content of a file which could be on a different computer. The file's content is presented to the user in a console as the file grows.

In this way the user can monitor a log file in a test or production environment, and if the project's sources are synchronized with the deployed application the user can navigate classes by clicking the stack traces in the console.

The user can configure alarms for the console so he is warned when a new info/warning/error is added and he doesn't need to keep an eye on the console.
