Don't know how this happens, but I saw this already quite some times using abra app logs. Maybe another dead container that shows up here? Would be super helpful for debugging stuff to have this in order :)

(Also not sure if bug or feature request? :D)

An example:

$ abra app logs monitoring.dev.local-it.cloud loki

Righhht, so, for context, there was no "off the shelf" API for "give me all the logs", so I had to cook up a concurrent "stream everything you can from every service and merge them into a single stdout/stderr stream" which is abra app logs today 🙃

Are we specifically speaking about out of order timestamps here? I think that is probably just a bug. I think I see out of order timestamps at least, in the millisecs?

Or are we talking about somehow stream all logs from all services but then "mixing" them in a less chaotic manner?

It could be that the logs from the services that appear to have out of order timestamps are just streaming in at weird times due to things like network or service latency...

ah okayy, I think I get it now ... I think what happened was:

deploy a broken service
fix the config
deploy fixed service
abra app logs
still see the logs of the broken service mixed in (almost 1h difference)

but yeah maybe thats just good enough for now and better logging are part of the monitoring stack :D

Aha, I see. Perhaps we could make an improvement here. I see that there is a Since option we're not making use of but could? Maybe this could be configured from the CLI? See https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/docker/docker@v23.0.1+incompatible/api/types#ContainerLogsOptions for the options. See eec6469ba1/cli/app/logs.go (L22) for options we do set.
