I am thinking to create a logging module which will help to show logs both in the Storagenode and Multinode UI.  
Before starting anything I wanted to ask if this is a required feature or not? @Alexey @jtolio

It’s not a required feature. But it’s requested by the Community:

> Hello, an idea that might be helpful to me. Could the Dashboard (14002) be extended so that there is a button to display logs directly in the browser? Maybe with a simple filter. It is much easier to run the dashboard in a tab and check from time to time if everything is ok than to log in to the server and view the logs. Thanks a lot.

I do not think that’s needed, because there are a lot of alternatives for that, especially if you use some GUI to run containers like Portainer, TrueNAS, Synology NAS, QNAP NAS, UnRaid NAS, Docker Desktop, Rancher Desktop, Podman Desktop, etc. However, there is no analogue for the text logs the same way without using something like Grafana Loki.

This would look like a complicated feature, which could possible affect the performance of the node itself.

Ok, then I’ll skip that.
