Log viewing limitations

Hi,

I’ve been using Trigger.dev for a personal project for a while and wanted to share some feedback. The biggest pain point for me is the logs experience. I know I can use third-party tools like Axiom, but being able to quickly view logs directly in the app would be a huge improvement.

The main issue I’m running into is that very long logs are truncated. For example, I use Drizzle, and when an insert fails I log the error. These errors can be quite lengthy (I have a large text field), and the current UI truncates them so I can’t see the full context.

Here are a few suggestions to mitigate this:

• Allow viewing or expanding very long logs in-app, or at least provide a “Download full log” option.

• If storage is a concern, consider retention limits (e.g., delete logs older than 15 days for free-tier users) while still enabling full access within that window.

• A collapsible/expand-on-demand UI for large log entries would help be ideal.

Anything that makes it possible to see full logs without leaving the app would significantly improve the developer experience.
