SHOW LOG

This command retrieves a portion of the specified log file.

Only ADMIN user of a Valentina Server can execute this command.

Usually user is interested in the latest log messages, so the simplest form of this command does this job - you should specify just size info which you want to get from the end of log file.

To implement reading of a log file by portions, this command have offset parameter and modifier FROM START or FROM END. A GUI application will prefer to count offset from the start, because the log file constantly grows. If modifier does not present, then FROM END is used.

Since Valentina Server can have many logs in the 'vserver/logs' folder, this command can also specify the name of a log file to use. If not present, then the active log file of Valentina Server is used.
