Live Tail
Stream newly persisted log rows into the explorer. Tail shows stored events only — silence means no accepted ingest, not a synthetic heartbeat.
Overview#
Live Tail is available in /app/logs when log_management is entitled. Apply the same query filters as search; the stream follows matching stored rows as they land.
How it works#
The product polls/streams via GET /api/app/logs/tail (session auth) using a cursor over Postgres rows. Filters for source, project, and query language match the search plane.
Limitations
- Shows entries within the plan’s retention (Free 1 day, Pro 7 days).
- Does not invent filler events when sources are idle.
- Subject to the same retention window as search — expired rows disappear.
