The iocLogServer does not catch all the messages we want to log. The wrap-around log feature is not so useful when it comes to diagnosing boot problems and other diagnostics that generate console output which does not go through the error logging mechanisms.

We'd kind of like to see VxWorks messages :-)  Plus the subject was "boot
messages" so that kind of implied needing the console messages.

Absolutely. When things are OK, the iocLogServer is sufficient. All too often, things are not that OK.
