Log viewer incorrectly displaying error log level when error log level is not used

Open lifeforced opened this issue 8 months ago • 5 comments

To Reproduce

My guess is it's doing this because the log message includes the word "failed" in it.

Here's my evidence from Dokploy log viewer:

You can see the red coloured line displays as an error.

However, the java code for this message uses log level info. Additionally, I've cross-refenced this log in Grafana and it displays correctly in that. See below Java code and Grafana logs screenshots.

Current vs. Expected behavior

Currently a log with level info have the word "failed" in its message displays as an error log in the Dokploy log viewer.

It should display as log level info, regardless of what words exist in its log message.

Provide environment information

Not relevant in this case, but, 

Dokploy Cloud
Hetzner
amd64, 4 CPU, 8GB RAM
Debian 12
Docker Compose running Java Spring Boot service with JRE 17

Which area(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

Cloud Version, Docker Compose

Are you deploying the applications where Dokploy is installed or on a remote server?

Remote server

Additional context

My guess is it's doing this because the log message includes the word "failed" in it.

Will you send a PR to fix it?

Looks like it's caused by this line https://github.com/Dokploy/dokploy/blob/9c19b1efa33be896bcb85bfd398dd69c128b7a5e/apps/dokploy/components/dashboard/docker/logs/utils.ts#L90

Not sure this is an easy fix for me, as I'm unaware of your preferred approach here, and the current logic looks like it doesn't try to evaluate the actual log level from the log output, but rather tries to determine it from the message content.

That's right, it tries to parse the message and based on the content it shows the log type, I don't know if there is a simple way to do this, I'm open to suggestions.

I encountered this recently with a similar false positive. My suggestion would be:

  • First check for explicit markers ([INFO], ERROR:, etc.)
  • Then use more conservative content-based patterns
  • Remove broad keyword matching (like /\bfailed\b/)
  • Default to info for ambiguous cases
