Where Apache Tomcat keeps its logs

Apache Tomcat logs to $CATALINA_BASE/logs/catalina.out on Linux.

Paths are printed exactly as Apache Tomcat writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
