As a user, I want to see the filtered logs "in context"

[pdesoyres-cc]

As of now, when filtering by log message, we show only the logs that correspond to the current filter.

When looking for an issue somewhere in a log stream, we first try to identify a log, but then, we also need to see what happened just before, or just after. Meaning: we need to see the log "in context".

Ideas:

• add a "show in context" button somewhere along the log entry which

  • clears the filter
  • centers the view on the log entry
  • adds some kind of focus on the log line
  • forces a logs stream pause

• add a "show/hide surrounding logs" toggle button somewhere along the log entry which

  • shows/hides the 10 logs before and after while keeping the current filter

the show/hide surrounding is probably less efficient, since the surrounding will depend on use case. When one has found it's search pattern, most users will want to directly go the the full log context for exploration.
