Please will you consider voting for my idea regarding accessing log files (d:/Daten/HCL/Domino/domino/workspace/logs)
The chain of command in accessing these files involves too much human intervention making debugging and HCL case responses tardy. Admin users urgently need a better solution.

Hi Stephen,
Voted. Thanks for sharing this helpful idea.
For the meantime, I would highly recommend you to use OpenNTF's Log file reader tool, built in Domino XPages.
The problem: In most cases, Domino developers (or in your case Domino Leap Admin users/ developers) don't have access to the file system of Domino server like various log files. These are commonly used when debugging any Domino application or Domino Leap application. With that, you need to collaborate with Domino Admin to get those files. Additionally, in some scenario, when Domino Admin is not available, there's a possibility of delay.
Solution: In your case, since you need to see the log files, using that tool, you can resolve your issue as it will retrieve all the log from the server and displays them in a webpage.
Installation steps:
1. Download Log file reader (logreader.nsf)
2. Copy to Domino server
3. Sign database, and run
First off, you need to get help with Domino Admin to setup this by following steps above. Once setup and you want to see log files as needed, go to your browser, and put url like:
"<hostname>/<location of logreader.nsf>/Reader.xsp?tab=<tab name>".
For example:
http:/localhost/logreader.nsf/Reader.xsp?tab=error
Please see demo below.

Kindly see attached screenshot below. Highlighted ones are commonly used in Domino Leap application that you can see anytime using this tool.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Jayve
I fully agree here, it is a pain. Voted.
FYI I posted a similar idea more than two years ago https://domino-ideas.hcltechsw.com/ideas/VOLT-I-207 and it is in "future consideration" stage, so let hope that HCL can fix this soon.
However, I can see a problem that DLeap uses a single log file for all apps (and other Domino stuff) so you can not simply expose it to all developers (assuming there is more than one app running on the server). There is the same issue regarding SystemOut.log in WebShere AS, but in Java we have at least log4j...
Last no but least, it is also necessary to replace the stupid RCPlogger from 2004 with something up to date, as discussed here a year ago.
Voted. Also on the one mentioned in the comments.
