Enhancement request - clear log file, copy log file, download logfiles

AI & Data Science NVIDIA AI Workbench

Request for improvement in log window capabilities.

  1. Add a button to clear logs, possibly clear all logs. This would make it possible to have the log buffers only have the last run
  2. Add copy log buffer. cmd-shift-a (ctrl-shift-a) currently selects the whole screen making it hard to copy
  3. Add download all logs to make it easier to create support bundle.

Hi Joe

Can you describe the problem you are trying to solve a bit more?

That will help us figure out how to address this.

Couple questions:

  • which logs are you talking about? System logs, app logs, etc?
  • is it that you only want part of the logs, or rather the last bit of the logs that are relevant?

Thanks
Tyler

Goal

Make it easier to do triage and supply log output for posts or problem reports.

which logs are you talking about? System logs, app logs, etc?

  • Logs currently shown in the log view, various service, build, and operation logs.
  • Haven’t even thought about the logs that exist that are not shown in the log view

is it that you only want part of the logs, or rather the last bit of the logs that are relevant?

  • I want it to be easy to copy the logs and send them somewhere like here or as a problem report.
  • Lets say I’m having trouble loading the model and I try a couple different times with different settings. Those logs might be co-mingled in the same log file. I’d like to clear the log before I try anything. So that the log file only contains my last attempt.
  • Sometimes there are a bunch of logs before I take an action. I’d like to be able to clear that out.
  • Sometimes I want to copy a fragment of the logs to blog article. Currently it is kind of painful.
  • Yes I realize this might be a file system thing.

this feels like a filtering problem to me.

One more

  • Ctrl-shift-a doesn’t work. It selects the entire GUI

it sounds like a filtering problem

  • Everything in the observability triad ends up being a filtering problem.
  • The logs aren’t structured in a way to support easy filtering.
