Description

When trying to use the SDK along with a container using "json-file" logging configuration with a rotate set to 200k, once the rotate occurs the streaming logs API will hang indefinitely and not pick up new logs coming in.

I've fixed this locally for now by increasing the max-size for the log, however is this something anyone else has experienced?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the SDK's streaming logs API with Docker's json-file logging configuration and a 200k rotation limit. Trace what happens when rotation occurs and verify that the stream continues receiving new logs instead of hanging indefinitely.
