====== Chipmunk UI: Logging Page ======

The Logging section in Chipmunk provides real-time and historical insights into system operations. This is useful for diagnostics, auditing, and ongoing monitoring of archive and restore activities.

===== 1. **Live Activity Log** =====
The **Live Log** tab provides a real-time console-style view of operations. Includes:

* Email/file backup operations per user
* Folder and file-level granularity
* Archive results (success/failure)
* Progress counters (e.g., email count, % complete)
* Status icons for easy visual scanning

Use the search bar to filter logs by keyword, user, or component. You can also enable **Errors only** to focus on failed actions.

===== 2. **Archived Logs** =====
The **Archived Logs** tab shows past logs saved to disk for long-term auditing. Features include:

* Log file selector (by date)
* Full searchable output
* Download option (for CSV or raw text)
* Error filtering

* Operational discovery
* Forensics and troubleshooting
