I'm looking for a sample application that I can install on Apache Tomcat to test out various observability features, particularly logging and metrics. Ideally, this app should generate a large volume of logs at different levels, such as INFO, WARN, and ERROR. This way, I can conduct a proof-of-concept for log management and monitoring. Any suggestions?

You might want to check out this tutorial series. It has a Git repository with a sample app that simulates document processing and generates logs along with Prometheus metrics. I've actually used a fork of that app in demo environments, and it worked great for similar purposes. It should be pretty flexible for what you need.
Awesome, I'll definitely take a look at that!
