The community member is asking about how to view logs when running an actor on the Apify platform. They would like to have a small TUI (Text-based User Interface) to monitor the crawl, as the Apify logs do not show anything. A community member responds that the logs are stored as plain text and displayed in the Apify Console, but there is no possibility for interaction with the user. To implement runtime interactivity, the community member would need to implement a web server and interact with the Run via (Web/Live)View tab.
This is probably a long shot, but I wonder if you can provide more information on how the log is shown when running an actor. Is this the docker terminal? Or just some observability for the logs? I would like to have a small TUI to monitor the crawl, it works locally but the Apify logs don't show anything. Is there a way to use the log screen as a TUI?
Hi , from what I know the logs are stored just as plaintext informations, that are then displayed as formatted text in Apify Console. There is no possibility for interaction with the user.
