Allow to store/pin searches

[obriat]

Hi, It would be nice to save searches and pin them in the sidebar, e.g; : CONTAINER/SEARCHNAME On a dev machine, it's very useful to have on sight only your application logs (and not the container or middleware one)

Solution I'd like Add a save button on the end of the search bar, that save the request search and pins it on the side bar (under the container name)

Alternatives Another way would be to pass these searches on the command line: --saved_searches="/^DRUPAL".

This would provide a way to commit the option in the docker compose so all your dev team could use it.

Hm interesting idea.

So what be the flow? Something like

• Click some container
• Search "foobar"
• See the results and click save
• Would get added to the side bar as "[Container name] foobar"

Next time, user clicks on "[container name] foobar" and sees the same results?

I like the idea of saving, but I don't know where it would go. The current list is just containers. Maybe a drop down of saved searches and favorites?

[amir20]

Or even saved views with multiple panels too would be a good idea

and an unique url so it can easilly be boomarked

Interesting idea! I can see how it could be handy during development work where you want to search for a known error message, etc.

Maybe a drop down of saved searches and favorites?

I'd really love to be able to save favorites. I run lots of containers, but there are only a small handful that I view the logs of frequently (i.e. SWAG, Authelia), and it can get cumbersome to have to search it half the time if it's not already in the main list.

Perhaps just add another link here entitled something like Favorites, next to the "All", you click it and it shows your favorites.

[amir20]

That's a better idea. I actually plan to redesign the home page to most frequently used containers, and support for favorites. So maybe a better idea would be to allow for favorites in that view?

Just bump for stale, still think this could be handy :)

[amir20]

@EDIflyer Agreed. I have actually been thinking about this. As far as I can tell, there are three requests in this issue:

• [ ] Store searches
• [ ] Store panel setup
• [x] Pin/favorite containers

To do some of that, there were some prerequisites. The dashboard/homepage had to be redone. That's done now and I have been thinking how to provide more customization like saving searches or containers.

A few things on my mind that is blocking this for better experience:

• All user settings are saved on browser in localstorage. Meaning they won't carry over for multiple users or browsers.
• There is only one user, so would there be value to even implement these?

I thinking "pinning" containers makes sense right now. But I am still thinking about multi-user experience. I can keep all settings on localstorage but I don't know how valuable that would be.

[amir20]

Another option would be for Dozzle to support OAuth with something like Google and then I would have true user profiles.

Right now I feel Dozzle is a great fit for small teams. But I do wonder if larger teams would find more value in have a multi-user option with each user having their own profile and saved searches.

[EDIflyer]

Thanks for looking into this @amir20 ! 👍

Personally I tend to access Dozzle from multiple machines so would be keen for the option to remember preferences either per user (but appreciate you might not want to have the hassle of logins) or even to be able to save a couple of dashboards onto the server so I could then pick it when I'm accessing it rather than having to sort out my settings each time. So I guess that would allow multi-user but without any of the login requirements, so some degree of trust between users (I guess a bit like Netflix/Amazon Prime where you can switch between users freely but people want to keep to their own so they get all their preferences/watch history)? I definitely don't want it to end up some massively over-complex thing (either for you implementing or maintaining!)

@EDIflyer

even to be able to save a couple of dashboards onto the server so I could then pick it when I'm accessing it rather than having to sort out my settings each time.

Thanks for the data point. Good to know I have some multi-host users.

I'll have to think about it more to make it easy.

[amir20]

For everybody else #2350 has been merged in to master and it add pinning as an option! :) I also added a little animation.

Try it with amir20/dozzle:master and provide feedback. It's look pretty good right now.

🚀

[EDIflyer]

Looks nice, smooth animation and handy to be able to favourite/pin a container 👍

[amir20]

It does look nice. It is released now with a few other changes.

Bump just as pinning sorted but perhaps still possibility of storing searches? :)

[amir20]

Thanks. I don't know why it keeps doing this.

I am rethinking search so hopefully yes.

[amir20]

I think my work is done on this feature. I was planning to move search to backend which could in theory support a lot more features, but it's too much work.
