Logs
Stream and search container logs at scale with a virtualized list and power-user keyboard shortcuts.
Use this page to read container logs in a virtualized list and drive it with keyboard shortcuts.
Live log streaming
Open Logs to stream from the container's current log tail. Pause freezes the view without disconnecting the stream, and Resume jumps back to the latest line and follows again.
Virtualized list
Dockerman renders log rows on demand so the viewer stays responsive even when you scroll through a large history.
Memory usage stays roughly constant regardless of log length because only visible rows stay in the DOM.
Search
Open search with /, type a query, and toggle regex only when you need it. Matches stay highlighted in place as you move through the stream.
