Why the logs are not update?

Question

I have a simple PythonOperator:

def simple():
    print ("start simple")
    for i in range (10):
        time.sleep(0.7)
        print("hello from simple")
    print ("end simple")

When looking on the logs window, I need to refresh the page in order to see new logs.

Is it possible for the logs to be updated automatically?

Answer 1

For Airflow>=2.4.0:

Supprt for logs auto refresh was added to Grid View (See PR)

You can configure the refresh interval by setting auto_refresh_interval (Note this effect other views as well)

For Airflow<2.4.0:

There is no option for that. There is an open feature request to add this ability for future Airflow versions: Auto-refresh of logs

You can use browser plugins to get this functionality. Chrome has Easy Auto Refresh (and probably many other plugins in that area)
