What exactly are you finding "quite hard"? – Stefan Drissen Jun 13 '22 at 15:04

The logfiles are plain text, any text viewer will do.
Which is best depends on your OS and personal preferences.
On linux I'd use less, or vi for "small" logfiles.
On windows I use baretail regularly, but I also use Vs Code, Editpad, ..., notepad

The 4GL Log files should really not be that hard to read?
As a possible built in option: in OpenEdge Management there's a log viewer.
On a newly set up server with classic appserver/adminserver it generally runs on http://<server-ip>:9090/ with credentials admin/admin (to be changed at first login).
This might be different with PAS (I'm not working with that, at least not yet).

We have our databases hosted in AWS so I send all my logs (DB, Webspeed, PASOE, AdminServer, etc etc etc) to Cloudwatch with a relevant retention policy. It's not hard to build a Date/Time parsing formula to calculate when the log entry happens. That way I can give people access to the logfiles easily without them needing access to all the different servers. It's a very neat solution. And we can send non-Progress logs over too, so Apache etc. And grepping them is dead easy too.
