This PR adds a number of small improvements to the log fetching to add more stability and prevent silent errors from being dropped.

  1. Stricter response validation in loki-client
  2. Prevent polling while a request is currently pending. This prevent abort signals from being created and ensures that we don't end up in a loop where each poll takes longer than the interval time making a request never finish
  3. Swap signal abortion to an auto-incrementing request numbers. Although this could cause a slight increase on the backend as multiple requests could be in flight at the same time, it will prevent the "context cancelled" noted in the logs in the ticket from being caused by frontend means

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of Loki error responses, malformed results, and failed requests.
    • Prevented outdated responses from overwriting newer log results.
    • Reduced duplicate and rapid-repeat log requests.
    • Prevented automatic refreshes while logs or additional entries are loading.
    • Improved handling of empty log queries.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for Loki response validation, stale requests, pending pagination, and HTTP 200 error payloads.
  • Accessibility for Testing

    • Added a stable identifier for the “more logs available” control.

Walkthrough

The change validates Loki responses, coordinates stale and duplicate log requests, disables refreshes during active requests, and adds Cypress coverage for these behaviors.

Changes

Logs reliability and refresh coordination

Layer / File(s) Summary
Loki response validation
web/src/logs.types.ts, web/src/loki-client.ts, web/src/__tests__/loki-client.spec.ts
The client validates Loki error payloads, response structure, and supported result types before returning query data.
Log request coordination
web/src/hooks/useLogs.ts
The hook tracks request context, suppresses rapid and duplicate requests, and applies responses only for the latest request.
Refresh loading gating
web/src/components/refresh-interval-dropdown.tsx, web/src/pages/logs-page.tsx, web/src/pages/logs-detail-page.tsx, web/src/pages/logs-dev-page.tsx
The pages disable refresh callbacks while initial or load-more log requests are active.
Behavior coverage and test selectors
web/cypress/e2e/integration/logs-page.cy.ts, web/src/components/virtualized-logs-table.tsx, web/src/test-ids.ts, web/eslint.config.ts
The tests cover Loki errors, stale requests, and refresh suppression. The load-more row receives a test identifier, and ESLint ignores unused disable directives.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 8a49a

The change improves Loki response validation and log-request coordination. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains in the available evidence.

By removing the abort logic, rapid clicking could generate multiple request. It seems now we are only filtering the responses but the request are still running and consuming frontend and backend resources.

I've expanded the throttle logic you had added in the getLogs to the getMoreLogs as well. I've also added a longer throttle when the query is identical, preventing the user from spamming the sync or run query button

I believe keeping the abort behavior is the right call. Even though it triggers a harmless backend warning, it correctly releases resources. Without it, we lose the ability to cancel unnecessary requests, meaning requests will still wait even if the component unmounts, and rapid filter changes will queue up unneeded calls.

The real issue is that getLogs and getMoreLogs currently share the same AbortController. Because of this, an auto-refresh request cancels any ongoing 'load more' request, which hides the button because of missing error handling. In addition to the fix on the error handling, we could assign separate abort controllers to each log request, plus removing the auto-refresh timer whenever a next page is loaded. This prevents concurrent requests entirely, keeping the log fetches sequential as intended, without having to track requests or compare request, WDYT?

The problem is that we don't actually know that is the issue. It could be query timeouts in proxies, issues with azure that we don't test for, or any other number of things. We have been unable to reproduce the issue and I would prefer to make the frontend causing the issue be not possible so that if this issue continues after this change then we can direct the debugging effort elsewhere.

completes and disabled while logs are loading.
