Explore show live logs mode

[yuriydzobak]

Hi,
As VictoriaLogs ahs live tailing mode
It would be nice if plugin will have this feature as well
Loki has it in their plugin
For example open loki play

and it expand ui in explore mode

Maybe Loki has a refresh mode instead of a live tailing mode like VictoriaLogs. However, it would be a useful feature for debugging apps in live mode.

Hi @yuriydzobak ! The feature was added in the release. Could you please check it? I close the issue. If you find any problems with new release please reopen the issue

@dmitryk-dk I've just checked, and it works perfectly!

I think I've found the bug. The "Clear logs" button breaks loading the new log entries.

I also found a strange bug. The live mode ignores my filter for some reason.

Could you check the request via vllogcli or with a request to the tail endpoint? I suppose it is a bug on the VictoriaLogs side. Because the query moves to VL as is, and there are no modifications.

Ok, will check, maybe miss something in the handlers

Does it support live logs in the grafana logs dashboard?

I am not sure that Grafana supports it on the dashboard, either. Explore works. Need to check. If it is, we will make changes

MQTT supports it in the dashboard while LOKI doesn't and I only want to use one log datasource and I am currently using LOKI. Even when both support live logs in the explorer tab.

Ok, need to check and discuss how to better implement this feature

Hi! I have checked this behavior with Grafana 11.3.0 and it works well

Does it work with a dashboard to have live logs?
And is there a good docker compose to go of for running VictoriaLogs in a docker swarm? Could only find the helm repo but that does not help much. And here I found the docker folder, but is that all necessary?

Hi @archef2000 ! At that moment live logs only work in the explore mode.

Can you check this folder ? Here, you can find any docker installations and make files that help you run them.
It is all necessary to run the vmlogs in the docker. If you find any issue you can open it in the main repository if it is related to docker or docker-compose files.
