Increased Observability

You are now able to tail and search logs across all containers within a Northflank service, job, build or addon. This levels up observability when deploying and debugging in a highly available production environment and applies to:

  • Logs from containers deployed in a service
  • Logs from CI tracking build progress across parallel builds
  • Logs from parallel job runs triggered via cron schedule or API trigger
  • Logs from database masters and replicas
  • Logs from terminal or running containers (up to 30 days of retention)
  • Logs from backups and restores

Due to increased load on our logging backend, we have implemented a fallback when WebSockets are exhausted. If Northflank is unable to establish a real-time connection to the queried log stream, it creates a static HTTP query & returns the relevant log messages, putting your client into an offline state.

You will always be able to retrieve logs irrespective of load on our real-time logging infrastructure, and you can attempt to reconnect to the real-time stream via a button in the UI.
