Log option on admin area

[joubertredrat]

Hi guys,

Sometimes I want to see Gogs logs to see if anything is wrong, but today I need to go to gogs log folder to see logs.

Then I think that is good idea to add a Logs options on Gogs admin area and display gogs.log, http.log, serv.log, update.log and other Gogs logs. With this will be possible to see logs on Gogs install more easy and to report issues too.

What you think guys?

So we need a log management on admin panel?

[lunny]

Or it can be named Console?

I prefer Logs, is simple and intuitive

I also prefer Logs. Consol makes it sound interactive (at least to me) which it is not.

A) does gitea currently has more than one logfile?
B) Is this still relevant as System settings has got System Notices?

This is not a simple thing - Gitea can log to lots of places in a highly configurable manner.

That being said it might be useful to add a configurable temporary logger that logs to a file or to read log files that are present.

In particular a temporary logger could be set at say DEBUG or TRACE with an EXPRESSION set so that only certain logs are sent to it - thus you could use it to debug issues quickly without having to restart the server.

I will have a think.
