SSH Tunnel Thread Activity Log

Demonstrates the tunnel-log properties KeepTunnelLog, TunnelLog, and TunnelLogPath, which record the activity of the SSH tunnel and client-manager threads.

Note: The log paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used.

Background: This is the counterpart to the accept log, covering the SSH side rather than the listener: the tunnel and client-manager threads that actually move data. As with the accept log, KeepTunnelLog enables the in-memory TunnelLog while TunnelLogPath writes a separate file. Together the two logs let you localize a problem to either the accepting side or the forwarding side.
