+== Overview ==
+Remote administration of !GeoNetwork is somewhat hampered by the inability to view system logs to look for problems.  We propose to 
+add the capability for read-only viewing of the Jetty logs in the browser window for administrative users.  This will be added to
+the Admin menu.
+
+=== Proposal Type ===
+ * '''Type''': Module Change
+ * '''App''': !GeoNetwork
+ * '''Module''': Administration interface
+
+=== Links ===
+ * '''Documents''':
+ * '''Email discussions''': See thread on ''Proposal: Display function for system logs'' on geonetwork-devel list
+ * '''Other wiki discussions''':
+
+=== Voting History ===
+ * Vote proposed by A. Warnock on 2009-12-20.
+
+----
+
+== Motivations ==
+There is currently no ability for an administrative user to review the Jetty and !GeoNetwork system logs remotely.  We propose to
+add the ability to view them in the browser from the administration menu.
+
+== Proposal == 
+We note that many of the errors which occur during harvesting are
+written to the Jetty logs but are not actually visible to anyone
+administering the site remotely.  We propose to add a simple, read-only
+log file viewing function to the administrative interface so that errors
+can more easily be tracked.
+
+=== Backwards Compatibility Issues ===
+None anticipated.
+
+== Risks ==
+None forseen.  Development will take place on a separate branch so that testing can take place before merging into the trunk.
