QLoggingWidget: can it show tango device server logs? about taurus

[cpascual]

I have a vague notion that what you want already exists, but I cannot remember the details.
Maybe @tiagocoutinho or @reszelaz remember something?

Apart, I just had a look at the QLoggingWidget (I admit that I've never actively used it), and I saw that it has the ability to show remote logs served via a socket connection (see the QRemoteLoggingTableModel). I understand that this works for remote taurus applications, not arbitrary Tango servers, though

The only thing that I remember is what @cpascual already mentioned in #1174 (comment). I do not remember that taurus was ever handling Tango DS logs.

As a totally different approach you could evaluate using elastic stack to store and visualize logs. A couple of years ago I tried this project from MaxIV: https://github.com/MaxIV-KitsControls/dev-maxiv-logger. If not, you could store logs in a file and use a File Beat.

Thanks all for the clarifications. Not a problem though, as I can always use the stand-alone logviewer tool of tango for the purpose.
Best,
