Building a Server Monitor App, Part 1: Accessing Streaming Log Files

(Previously posted on Stuart's MATLAB Videos Blog)

This will be one of a few posts in which I work on building an app that will visualize traffic to a web server, letting me monitor it as it's being used. I plan to use App Designer, then deploy the app to the web, which was a new feature in Release 2018a. But before I do that, I need to figure out how to read the log files, and do it continuously as they get updated during the day.
