This is an in-progress project, but is getting close to feature complete, and stable enough that it’s now providing useful results.

Design goals I had in mind were:

- be more convenient than using tail, head, or Windows Event Viewer
- very simple installation
- support all three server environments: macOS, Ubuntu, and Windows
- consolidate access to various logs
- improve log presentation
- info on file system usage (Database and container size, backup sets, temp file usage)
- network connectivity tests for most FMS endpoints, current connections, etc.

Windows support not yet implemented, so currently macOS & Ubuntu only.
