As we have more and more tests that use serial console instead of the graphical console, it is hard to follow those tests during execution.

This output is not in the regular serial output box.
On the worker node it is in the file /var/lib/openqa/pool/N/virtio_console.log.

We should make this prominently available in the live view - maybe as a tab to switch between graphical view and terminal view. The switching could be done automatically whenever a test switches the console.

Suggestions¶

• Cross-check whether virtio_console.log is shown in the serial log box on the web UI and if not add it there
• Ensure the list of file mentioned on the web UI is consistent with what it actually contains
  • If files are renamed during the process, maybe mention the two names on the web UI like serial0.txt/virtio_console.log
