Recently we were debugging an infrastructure “situation” and we did not have an external log source set up. The postmortem was failing and the cmc.out was wrapping far too quickly.

I knocked together this script to allow us to stream the log files from the API Manager to the local disk.

THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO BE USED OUTSIDE OF EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES.

The Log Tailer simple creates one or more SSH sessions and runs the following command.

debug tail file <filepath>

It then writes the file to the local disk.
