Live Tail

Stream logs from your projects in real time — directly in the browser.

Overview

Live Tail streams logs as they are ingested — no page refresh needed. It is designed for active debugging sessions where you need to watch what is happening right now.

Open Live Tail from the sidebar. Logs appear within milliseconds of ingestion via server-sent events (SSE).

Filtering

Two filter controls appear at the top of the Live Tail view:

Service filter — restrict the stream to one service (e.g. api, worker).
Text search — live substring match against the log message. Only matching lines are shown.

Logs/sec counter

The top bar shows a real-time logs/sec counter. This is the ingestion rate for the selected project (or service if a filter is active). Useful to spot traffic spikes at a glance.

Copying a log entry

Click any log line to expand it. A Copy JSON button copies the full structured log entry to your clipboard — helpful for pasting into a bug report or Slack.

Keyboard shortcuts

? — open the help modal with all available shortcuts
Space — pause / resume the stream
Esc — clear the active filter

💡

Live Tail is separate from the Logs Explorer. Use the Explorer for historical search and filtering; use Live Tail when you need a real-time feed during an incident.

Project switching

The project switcher in the top bar lets you switch between projects without leaving the Live Tail view. The stream reconnects automatically.
