Major Description
As of now, when an admin encounters an issue or error in CloudStack, the maximum information they can immediately get is the API failure response which provides a reason for the failure. At times this might not be sufficinet to diagnose the error and would require the admin to investiage the CloudStack logs. This would require the admin or the sysadmin to log into the VM running CloudStack and either view or export the logs, and then dive into identifying the issue. This idea aims to eiliminate that step.
The goal of this is to provide admins the ability to view the logs directly in the UI. This would make diagnosing failures and RCAs much quicker.
Provide the ability display the logs in the UI
Add an API / WebSocket (and UI) support to :
- View the logs
- Live follow the logs (similar to 'tail -f')
