The idea is that when you're troubleshooting a problem, having access to
the latest data from the logs can be helpful. There could be something
in that logfile that gives you a hint about what's wrong, even if though
it isn't something that you explicitly want to trigger a yellow or red
alert.

In other words, if I can figure out what a problem is from clicking on
the "msgs" display, then I don't have to logon to the server (via one 
or two terminal servers).

True. I should probably provide some way of just having the links to the
full logs instead of always including them on the msgs display.
