Where to see "console output" from Servlet when in Tomcat?

I had a JavaSE app with main() method. I need to run it in a cloud. A good choice is Jelastic. So I converted my project to Dynamic Web project (Project Facets in Eclipse), created a ServletContextListener and put all my code from main() in that Servlet contextInitialized() method. My code has System.out.println and logging (slf4j) statements - In my Eclipse IDE I see all that output in console view. But as I deploy the project in Tomcat in the cloud - I am totally lost where too look for console output. I guess it is somewhere in the logs, but I cannot find those logs...

If you are looking for tomcat logs in Jelastic then just hover on the application server and press "Log" button.

Tomcat doesn't redirect the console logs to a file, to do that you need to use logging tools like log4j for example, or once you start your tomcat you can redirect the output to a file check this and this for more information.
