Provide a button to toggle/enable logging on demand

I am interested in selectively logging the terminal output (printable output) in Telnet/SSH sessions.
I understand we can set the logging mode and path per session or using template. This works fine. But it logs all the time. There is no way to selectively turn on/off logging once it is configured.

Please provide a feature to toggle the logging on/off per session.
An example of this is in SecureCRT, there is a button "Log Session" to enable logging in an active session, which uses the pre-configured global path and filename that has been already set.




The use case is, most sessions are uninteresting and do not require logging. However when working a project, a priority change or maintenance upgrades, we log the critical parts of the session for improvement and backtracking any issues. It is not reasonable to exit the session, edit the logging settings, then reconnect to the session, then exit the session and put the logging settings back the way they were.

Hello,

We already have something quite similar to this in the SSH terminal entry if you have the toolbar enabled. You can configure log settings here:

Could you try out this feature and see if it works well for your needs?

From your description, too, we could improve it by letting you configure the log information without actually turning on the logs, so you could more easily turn it on and off that way as well. Let me know what you think.

Regards,

Hubert Mireault
