> Just trying to find logs is a pain, and getting the UI to show a full log output is basically impossible

Have you tried `fly watch`? It will stream logs from in-flight builds, or show the full output of completed ones.




sure - I can use fly. if I got to the page, find the link to download the right version of fly, then remember the archine incantation to login, find a job, and find the logs.

Or - I can go to my Jenkins build page, and click "Show full log".

For me, I find the initial quick searching through logs much quicker in a browser.

And, I have found that on longer builds the web UIs log streaming can actually crash the browser.


The arcane incantation to login? Seriously? It's literally fly login. You're being ridiculous.


Well, to be clear, it's fly login --team-name internal --concourse-url https://<url> -k (I think)

Vs just going to the jenkins UI.


It's fly login -t <my target>

You can save targets.

Also, if you want logs to appear somewhere you can pretty easily set up a after-fail job to ftp em somewhere.
