kennymc.c Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Since the 6.10.0 update, logs are only displayed in black and white via the logterminal pop-up window. Even though this might improve the readability at first glance, the different coloring of info, warn and error messages have unfortunately also disappeared with this change. This made it very easy to see if something is wrong or to filter out relevant info. For me and probably many others, this was a crucial feature that I now miss very much. Now all I see is a pile of text that becomes even more unreadable on longer lines due to the larger font with line breaks. If you go to Tools/System log you can see what it looked like before. 7 Quote Link to comment
vakilando Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 +1!Yes, I also miss the colored logs. What is the reason for this"design decision"? Finding errors was very easy and fast.Please bring it back! Quote Link to comment
BVD Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 This is controlled by the "Enhanced Log Viewer" plugin: I'd recommend requesting the author update their plugin for compatibility with 6.10 in the thread above - keep in mind though, the same author is responsible for the unassigned devices, open files, tips and tweaks, hotplug USB, and several other plugins, so his desire to focus efforts on those projects they're maintaining with higher benefit/impact may mean limited time for this (which I totally get!) 1 Quote Link to comment
kennymc.c Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 Good to know but then why does this still work with the system log in the tools tab? Quote Link to comment
BVD Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I'd have to defer to the plugin creator for the answer to that one. Quote Link to comment
kennymc.c Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 The developer has just confirmed the log highlighting is not controlled by his plugin and it is build into Unraid. This is also in line with the statement of another developer who called the new docker/vm log view a design decision. So I think the only way to get the color highlighting back for the docker and vm logs is upvoting this feature request. 1 Quote Link to comment

thompw Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 yes they did but still on a black background not white Quote Link to comment
ksp Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I like the look of the white background. Wonder why this was all even messed with. Quote Link to comment
likwidtek Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 This might be old or irrelevant but is this possible through a plugin or anything? I just wish that I could still see log colors when tailing syslog Quote Link to comment
