I am not sure if a general feature in ESH to expose logs on the REST API makes sense.
Logs are essentially internal technical information and should not be relevant to "end user UIs".

How to get diagnostic information is probably something that should be decided by the solutions themselves.

I don't see why it doesn't make sense. It's a management function for sure, but we do have management functions in the REST API. We also added a logging method to allow the front end to add logs, so it would I believe be useful to have a function to also recover logs.

For me it's not a case of if it makes sense - viewing logs is something that is needed, it's more a question of wether or not to add something to the ESH interfaces.

I believe that there are methods for recovering logs, and IMHO if this could be exposed to the REST API it would be very useful if someone were to add it....

My point was that ESH does not at all deal with logging apart from the fact that it uses org.slf4j interfaces.
The logger implementation is completely up to solutions and thus is the mechanism on how logs can be read, exposed and processed.

The real use case might be in a general notification framework, which we discussed elsewhere on the forum, and for which a proof of concept PR is available (and long due to be kicked around a bit more https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/pull/459)
