Missing configuartion varaiable custom_live_log_socket_url
Summary
I had issues to get the live log running. So I looked at the code and found a config parameter custom_live_log_socket_url which is used in
https://github.com/jhuckaby/Cronicle/blob/master/htdocs/js/pages/JobDetails.class.js#L869
but it was never initialised.
See https://github.com/jhuckaby/Cronicle/blob/master/lib/api/config.js#L32-L4
Your Setup

Are you using a multi-server setup, or just a single server?
Single-server
Are you using the filesystem as back-end storage, or S3/Couchbase?
Filesystem
Yeah, this feature never really got implemented. It was a half-baked attempt at trying to solve log watcher issues people were having, but it died on the vine. What you are seeing in JobDetails is just leftover, unused code.
This feature was replaced with things like web_direct_connect, web_socket_use_hostnames and socket_io_transports.
