      Blue Ocean streams an exceptional amount of logs to the client.

      In Scope

      • Limit all steps to show a maximum of 100 lines (last 100)

      Out of scope

      • Any functional changes to the amount of logs shown for non-pipeline

      Notes
      There may be a frontend and backend component to this.

      This means that there would only be 100 lines visible on screen at all times and the only way to see the whole log for the step is the "show more" button.

          Good questions

          1. The driver is that are displaying too much useless information on screen. The last 100-150 lines contains the context.
          2. Yes, that would prevent things from jumping around too I suspect.
          3. Lets kill the line numbers. They just don't make any sense.
          4. Ditto. Eventually we should have a timestamp but I suspect that is going to be hard (I suspect core changes, vivek?)

          EDIT: lets simplify here. Lets stick with 100 lines for both running and finalized log steps.

          Do we want the users to be able to request "more" log, or just "all" the log if they need more info? My vote is on "all" for implementation simplicity and fewer choices the user has to make, but I thought I should clarify that.

          sophistifunk I believe the "all" behaviour is what we have today. I agree, lets keep it that way unless we get a strong signal to change it.

          There is some progress, it's bit-rotting in a local branch (slowly though, it's mostly new files) while waiting on some fixes kzantow is sitting on [cough]

          Sorry I'm not currently on the Jenkins team, your best bet will be the mailing lists.

          gluszczykk it is unlikely this will be implemented unless a Jenkins community member does the implementation. See the Jeremy Hartley's message for the latest status on new feature development in Blue Ocean.
