Description
Describe the Feature You Want
Some servers write their logs in json so that they're machine-readable. When viewing them in Tilt, it'd be nice to be able to massage the output a bit to make them more human-readable.
Current Behavior
Tilt just logs the raw output (json) logged by the server.
Why Do You Want This?
Formatted logs are easier to read than JSON logs.
Additional context
- GCP log explorer lets you pull fields out of JSON logs - https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/view/logs-viewer-interface
