Provide a way to access historic logs for runtimes

When a runtime/instance is restarted, all the logs get deleted, a way to access the logs after a restart would be very beneficial.

    Hi Jake, Thanks for the feedback. Are you aware that you can do this today? See the documentation and let us know if this doesn't meet your needs, why not. On Bluemix doc site, we have a topic on configuring third-party logging, https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/manageapps/monitoringandlogging.html#thirdparty_logging. We are planning additional improvements to the documentation in this area. Additionally I recommend that you check out this blog post. https://developer.ibm.com/bluemix/2015/10/22/bluemix-logging-options/ Thanks Carlos

    Hi Carlos,
    Yes I have since found that and it is useful. I still think it would be good to have similar functionality available by default or available in the BlueMix Catalog.

    Cheers,
    Jake
