How do I read resource logs in a terminal?

[KennethHoff]

I understand that a major selling point of Aspire is the Dashboard - and it is good - but I was wondering if it is possible to view the console logs for a specific service in a terminal?

Ideally there would be some kind of dotnet aspire --attach --resource=<resourceName> log or something that allowed you to read console logs for specific resources inside a CLI

No this doesn't exist.

PS: We do have a feature to expose resource logs in the aspire.hosting output but it's not exposed in a clean way. That's what #5878 is about.

Does this mean that, with the plausible introduction of ResourceLoggerForwarderService, one could create their own Aspire Resource that reads console logs of a resource, and outputs it to some endpoint that we then could read via the terminal?

Yes
