Under what circumstances would ACF use Tomcat Native?
Where is catalina.out?
If I didn't find it in \ColdFusion\cfusion\logs\, does that mean it's not being used?

I haven’t verified this through testing, but I think… Tomcat Native would only be used if you had configured your builtin web server (eg port 8500) to use SSL, and you have the tomcat native libraries in place, and you have the AprLifecycleListener in your server.xml

tomcat lives under the runtime folder of an ACF install, so I think catalina.out would be under runtime/logs/ don’t have an install handy in front of me at the moment

Thanks @zackster and @foundeo!
@Dave Merrill I'm on Windows and went to the \Coldfusion2021\ root dir and used windows search to look for "catalina.out" (no quotes) with the "all subdirectories" option highlighted. This searched in my main install as well as the instances under it. Didn't find it, but nice to confirm. Hope this helps.

I don't have a logs dir under /cfusion/runtime/.
searching for catalina there I do see some jar, policy and properties files, but not out or log(s).
This is cf2018.

ok for ACF they might have placed tomcat output under coldfusion-out.log, it would be the log file which outputs the tomcat version number when it starts like this:
