Console Pane

The Console pane is a structured log viewer for real-time system diagnostics. It displays color-coded log messages from all Tetrapus subsystems, with independent level filtering, substring search, and automatic scrolling. Logs are ephemeral and rebuilt each session.

Log Levels

Each level has a color-coded icon and can be toggled independently. When a level is disabled, its messages are hidden but remain in the ring buffer.

Features

• Search Bar: Case-insensitive substring filter across all visible messages
• Auto-scroll: Toggle to keep the viewport pinned to the newest message
• Ring Buffer: Maximum 1000 lines retained; oldest entries are discarded first
• Clear (Ctrl+L): Flush all messages from the buffer
• Color-coded Icons: Each log level has a distinct icon and color for scan-ability

Configuration

• RUST_LOG — Controls which modules emit logs (default: "warn,tetrapus=info")
• buffer_size: usize — Ring buffer capacity (default: 1000)
• auto_scroll: bool — Start with auto-scroll enabled (default: true)

Lifecycle

The console has no persistence. All log data is lost when the session ends. To retain logs across sessions, use the external logging stack documented under Monitoring.
