Hi
I have a practical question about managing live algos/logs.
I recently moved my live algos to QC, I do generate a lot of logs everyday in my live algos to help me troubleshoot if needed, however after a few days, it becomes really cumbersome to scroll down many times to get to the latest entries and make sure everything is behaving properly.
Is there a way to either clear the logs manually (or automatically) or to tail it to avoid scrolling?
thanks

I have the same question. Any way to easily show the latest logs in live trading instead of manually scrolling (many pages) to the end?

If you move the scroll bar on the chart and shrink it, it truncates the logs to those day ranges. So you can shrink it to just today and it will only show logs from today

Hello,
We deployed this morning a new version of the terminal that fix this issue. Now by default the logs will show the latest line, and we also added a shortcut button to jump there too.

Thanks , it's a good feature. Still, though, it would be nice to be able to manually clear/purge the log--probably also cheaper for you with the hosting provider.

The system only downloads logs in the chart view area you are zoomed. To get a smaller subset of logs just zoom into that area and you should easily be able to page through them.
