Experimental Gateway logs viewer

Module Development
1

I have been experimenting with mirroring the gateway logs on a designer window, I find the constant switching between windows and logout of the gateway webpage a pain when making and troubleshooting gateway scoped scripts, so I have experimented with this module, it adds a menu item in the Tools menu that opens a little gateway logs viewer window that mirrors the gateway logs.
I am not sure if there is actually any people that will find this useful, but if you do, I may consider making a signed module to use on your dev servers.

What's the stack underlying it - direct HTTP calls to the REST API, or RPC, or push notifications, or something else?

It's using the RPC, converting to some pretty basic JSON and sending them through to the designer.

I use tail -f .../wrapper.log in an SSH window. Tough to beat it, as it doesn't rely on any Ignition functionality.

Port 22 isn't allowed over most of the remote access platforms we do Ignition dev on unfortunately.

SSH can listen on multiple ports, not just 22.
