## What it is
Log.io is a Node.js-based real-time log monitoring tool that watches log files via file inputs, relays messages over TCP to a server, and broadcasts them to browsers via socket.io. It provides a web UI for binding log streams and sources to multiple screens for ad-hoc log watching.

## Use cases
- monitor server logs in real time from a browser
- tail log files across multiple machines in one web UI
- watch application log streams grouped by source
- set up a self-hosted log viewer for backend services
- follow log file changes with glob-based file watching

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, self-hosted browser UI for live log tailing
- you need to aggregate logs from many servers into stream/source views
- you prefer a simple TCP + socket.io pipeline without heavy log platforms

## When to avoid
- you need log storage, search, or retention (use ELK or Loki instead)
- you require strong security or multi-user access control beyond basic auth
- your logs are not file-based or you need structured ingestion pipelines
