Hey everyone 
I was recently working on a hobby project that I have deployed on a platform that did not provide quick and easy access to my application’s logs, especially across different nodes.
Since Elixir Logger is very extensible, I thought it should not be hard to build something with Phoenix LiveView, which adds a new backend for the logger and then propagates them to my live view process using Phoenix PubSub across a cluster.
Well, I was right! It was actually fairly easy to do so. In the process, I even discovered Phoenix LiveDashboard custom pages and implemented one as a custom page for LiveDashboard. (See image below)
It does the job for my need and I decided to package it out so if someone else needs this they can also use it. One cool thing that I like about it is that it does not require adding any custom plugs or changing your app’s supervision trees.

Please let me know your suggestions and feedback 
Thanks!

Many thanks! I’ll use this for a project that the client will be hosting on their own server. Installation went fine, as expected.
My only thought is about adding a third option to remove the max-width of
section#main.container, or to add some way of making the logs full-width, but that’s probably best as a general LiveDashboard thing? Anyway, I can, of course, use a custom user stylesheet in the browser.alisinabh
Happy you found this useful
Yes it mostly is. In the next live-dashboard release we will also get log colors based on levels which was updated in live-dashboard css.

It works great!
A search filter would be a nice addition, too.
