Anyway, thanks for taking the time and effort to get the folders and write the blog.

Thank you for this post.
You should definitely report this to Pete. Indeed, I'd not be surprised if he's already got an update for FG that no longer relies on that, and perhaps leverages a new approach.
Oh, and thanks also, Drew, for your previous kind regards. :-)
Second, the page still a) lists all the files (for those who may not know they exist), and b) shows the size and last update date for each log (which could be of some value in some situations, I suppose).
All that said, clearly I am still of the opinion that there SHOULD be an ability to VIEW the logs. Whatever led them to remove it (still a mystery to me), it seems they should be able to SOLVE it so as to return this functionality.
In case this helps anyone else, on cf 21 they are ColdFusion2021\cfusion\logs
Pretty obvious of course but if your app isn't working and you're in a hurry having this info on the logging page in cf admin could be helpful given the context
HTH
Of course, some might argue that "anyone who administers a cf admin should already know these locations", but it's not true. They could also argue that putting the info here could aid hackers, and I could argue they really DO tend to already know such things! :-)
But I could understand if they're torn about which way to go. I'm not so sure they've really considered it, so again good for you to raise the point. Better if you'd file a feature request, at tracker.adobe.com. :-)
