How view tail of log file in IntelliJ?

Question

I'm using the latest IntelliJ and want to be able to view the output of ssh [email protected] tail somelogfile in IntelliJ when remote debugging. How would I do this?

Answer 1

If you have Ultimate Edition, do the following (I dont think this is available in Community edition):

1) Specify remote connection settings (host, port, user, pass) in: File > Settings > Build, .., Deployment

2) Add a remote external tool in File > Settings > Tools > Remote SSH External Tools

In "Connection Settings" choose the one created in step 1. In "Program" write "tail somelogfile".
