I too am having problems with the new log viewer, and have a p1 support ticket open with Google. I have the same problems you list plus:
- too many errors trying to load the logs pages - too slow to load the page - truncated user-agent string (this is a blocker for our use of the logs because the user-agent string tells us which client is connecting!) - less information in the collapsed view of the logs compared to the old console which tremendously slows down our scanning of the logs for issues. i am disappointed that Google turned down the old viewer before full feature parity was achieved. christian On Thursday, July 7, 2016 at 6:01:55 AM UTC-7, Mark Cummins wrote: > > The old App Engine console is gone (sadness).
