Hi,

I have a big feature request. I would like to be able to see logs in the WebUI.

This means when calling the logging function in the SDK, it would show up in the workflow or activity view in the Temporal web UI.

I know this is a huge ask and a ton of work. I think it would go a long way to improving debugability and visibility.

FYI: I think I saw something like this in Orkes.

Thoughts?

We’ve considered this, and have some stuff on the roadmap that would enable this kind of functionality. No promises on timeline at the moment, but it’s definitely in consideration!

Thanks for the suggestion

If you already using a log pulling feature then we recommend using the workflow summary to provide workflow specific links to it from UI.

@maxim searching the documentation for “workflow summary” and “static summary” I found Ruby ([Class: Temporalio::Client::Schedule::Action::StartWorkflow — Documentation by YARD 0.9.37](https://ruby.temporal.io/Temporalio/Client/Schedule/Action/StartWorkflow.html#static_summary-instance_method)) and the CLI ([Temporal CLI workflow command reference | Temporal Platform Documentation](https://docs.temporal.io/cli/workflow#start)), do you know if any other SDK’s support using the workflow summary yet?

Sorry, it is called `StaticDetails`:

> **[temporalio.client.StartWorkflowInput](https://python.temporal.io/temporalio.client.StartWorkflowInput.html#static_details)**

> **[WorkflowOptions.Builder (temporal-sdk 1.30.1 API)](https://www.javadoc.io/static/io.temporal/temporal-sdk/1.30.1/io/temporal/client/WorkflowOptions.Builder.html#setStaticDetails(java.lang.String))**

And `CurrentDetails` inside a workflow:

> **[Workflow (temporal-sdk 1.30.1 API)](https://www.javadoc.io/static/io.temporal/temporal-sdk/1.30.1/io/temporal/workflow/Workflow.html#setCurrentDetails(java.lang.String))**

> **[workflow package - go.temporal.io/sdk/workflow - Go Packages](https://pkg.go.dev/go.temporal.io/sdk@v1.34.0/workflow#SetCurrentDetails)**
>
> Package workflow contains functions and types used to implement Temporal workflows.

> **[temporalio.workflow](https://python.temporal.io/temporalio.workflow.html#set_current_details)**

Would also love to see this. With tons of concurrent workflow executions, getting the logs out for one can be a pain (especially in development when I am building a new workflow and need to see logs, there is a lot of noise from other workflows that are running).
