Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NarrativeScience-old/log.io/issues/61

In the previous version of the software, there was the option to show some lines of the file logged previously. It was a very useful feature and I hope it will come up again in a future release.

@msmathers commented on GitHub (Apr 15, 2013):

I would like to reintroduce history screens, however I think it warrants an architectural discussion. One of the tenants of v0.3.x is that the server/client has to work with 3rd party harvesters such as logstash, and therefore the server/client can't rely on the ability to access logs directly from their source file.

Therefore I see two options to address this:

  • Store logs in a cache on the server, either on the filesystem or in memory. Both caching options have tradeoffs.
  • Only allow log history for harvesters than implement a specific TCP interface. Therefore if you use the log.io harvester you can see history, otherwise you won't be given the option.

Any thoughts?

I just felt that the history was the "killer feature" of log.io (for me at least). The streaming view isn't always useful as a lot of my debugging is "work work work.. oh, something broke, what do logs say" then going and opening log.io to look at what failed.

I'm indifferent as to the actual implementation as I only use the stock harvester/server, although knowing that I could theoretically build in my harvester into a node or PHP app is fairly interesting.

Crap. I upgraded without really looking because I though getting rid of forever was nice - and now the thing I used the most is gone. Bummer. I already spent way too much time to upgrade, now I should downgrade?
aaarggghhhh!

It seems natural to have history, without it Log.io feels incomplete. Reviewing history is critical to determine how the server was preforming while away. Catching application errors in real-time is only half the battle.

I really hope to see Log.io introduce History w/ Filters.

Hi,

It seems there is only 2 persons to do the job.
I think there is no need to fork but any people who has skills
for this project could join it.

On my side, I can made test but I am not a dev.

Do not forget that is an Open Source project.

Best regards,

It's the concept of open source on github: fork it, tweak it. If you're up to it.
I've reverted to pre 0.3 myself, it was easier. Many forks with regex filtering are available.

@Dual-Boot commented on GitHub (Dec 10, 2013):

Too much fork kill the fork ;-)
There is a need to focus on one project or 2-3 forks .
If there is more thant 10 forks why do not contribute directly on the first project ?

That is a real question.

@zeflash commented on GitHub (Dec 10, 2013):

@Dual-Boot I agree with you, but it's up to the original project managers to accept contributions. If they feel those contributions do not go towards the solution they want to provide, they are free to refuse them.

Their vision is more real-time monitoring, and less relying on actual files. It makes sense it some cases (monitoring a lot of machines) but it's not that interesting for us (or me at least) when I just need to remote-check & monitor one server.

I feel it's just a matter of priorities here. The original dev(s) might have other things on their plate at the moment. I can live with pre 0.3 even if refresh is a bit buggy sometimes. If history actually makes it in 0.3 (I would up-version it to 0.4 in that case ;) ) then even better, I'll upgrade again!

I wanted to add my request for this very important feature. If I close my browser all the log history is gone.

Do you have an estimate as to when this new release will be out?

Also, what is the latest version to have this feature?
