Log a session to a file

Session logging streams everything a session prints to a file on disk, each line stamped with a UTC timestamp. Output is redacted at the write boundary (the same filter as export), so a log never lands a device secret in cleartext.

Start logging

1. Right-click the session tab in the tab strip.
2. Pick Log session to file….
3. A native save dialog opens with a default filename derived from the tab’s label and the current time. Pick a location and click Save.

A red recording dot appears on the tab while it’s logging.

Stop logging

Right-click the tab again and pick Stop logging. The dot clears and the file is closed.

What’s in the file

• Plain UTF-8, one timestamped line per line of output.
• Redacted — PEM blocks, passwords, keys, and JWTs are stripped as they’re written (best-effort, per chunk).
• Works for both SSH and console (serial) sessions.

Logging vs. export

• Logging is continuous — it records output live, from the moment you start until you stop.
• Export is a one-shot save of the scrollback already on screen, with optional age encryption.

Use logging when you want a whole session recorded as it happens; use export when you just want the current buffer.
