James Perkins commented on AS7-2213:
------------------------------------

My first thought is it feels kind of fragile. If a user changes the the logging levels for any of the categories you're looking for you might not see anything. It also seems guessing the number of errors to go back may or may not work.

Another thing to consider is we can't rely on the log manager is JBoss Log Manager. I've done some work on AS7-5785 to allow for other log managers to be used. In order for this to work the logging extension would have to be enabled.

Note I'm not opposed to this at all, just want to put all the possible issues out there. Is it worth maybe listing all the log files in the {{jboss.server.log.dir}} and allow the user to view the files? Probably limiting the view to the last x lines, but make it configurable. With an approach like that you could add a link to the message to view the logs. Just kind of thinking out loud here though...
