Issue

When viewing a consul-connect enabled job, clicking into the task logs for the job will inexplicably switch to the consul-connect sidecar's logs after a period of about 10-20 seconds.

Reproduction steps

This seems to happen every almost every time for me.

1. Create a consul-connect enabled job
2. Click into the actual task for the job and navigate to the logs for the task
3. Click stderr logs
4. Wait 10-20s, the logs window will refresh to the consul-connect sidecar's logs.

Job file (if appropriate)

Nomad Client logs (if appropriate)

Nomad Server logs (if appropriate)

I am also seeing this issue. Has been a problem since 0.10.x and persists on 0.11.x

this happens to me as well. but with a somewhat broader scope:

• happens without consul-connect being enabled
• happens on overview-tab as well as logs-tab
• happens as soon as i put multiple tasks in the same group
• only happens when there is at least one task failing and being restarted

I believe this is a duplicate of #8545 and fixed with #8833 which released in 0.12.5.

Feel free to reopen if you think this is a distinct bug.
