Description

I'd like to see a couple of improvements in the nomad log reporting functionality. Mostly just user-experience improvements.

  1. Larger view. Currently in my mostly full-screen view the actual real-estate assigned to the log div content is about 58% of the window. I'd like that to have see that be the full div.row space instead. Maybe move the file-selector to a drop-down (though being able to see both files in one view would be amazing).
  2. Word-wrapping/breaking of the log lines to fit. I've got many log lines that run off to the side (thanks Java). It'd be wonderful to be able to wrap them.
div.content-file {
  white-space: pre-wrap;
  word-break: break-word;
}

Research direction
Examine the log view component in the Hashi UI codebase, likely in a CSS file or component styles. The issue requests two changes: (1) making the log div use the full row space, possibly by moving the file selector to a dropdown, and (2) adding word wrapping via CSS properties white space: pre wrap and word break: break word on the div.content file element. Look for the relevant CSS file (e.g., a stylesheet or component style) and verify if these changes are already applied or if there are any dependencies. The repository is JavaScript based, so the component structure may be in React or similar.
