   Click on "show JIRA logfile" or use the URL displayed within the following screenshot on top (replace "localhost:2990/jira" by JIRA's baseurl according to your local configuration) to get your JIRA logfile straight ahead into your browser without the necessity to access your server via terminal window or ftp. Beware, that the logfile may contain a lot of data and that scrolling takes some time.
