Jamie Tanna 5af2a1955e docs: update information about renovate-pretty-log (#45327)
* docs: update information about `renovate-pretty-log`

As I've made some changes recently to make it more useful, and visually
explaining it is better for this page.

* docs: don't try and cache Asciinema assets

As it leaks to flakiness in CI, and it's OK to resolve these.

Renovate Operator (Kubernetes)

The Renovate Operator lets you run Renovate on Kubernetes in a native way. It wraps the Renovate CLI in a Kubernetes operator and adds features like:

  • CRD-based scheduling with declarative cron syntax
  • Parallel execution with configurable concurrency control
  • Auto-discovery of repositories
  • Built-in web dashboard for monitoring and management
  • Webhook API for on-demand runs
  • Prometheus metrics and health checks

renovate-pretty-log

renovate-pretty-log is a set of utilities to provide a richer, local-only view, for your Renovate debug logs.

The project is maintained by Renovate maintainer Jamie Tanna.

renovate-pretty-log-tui

renovate-pretty-log-tui is a Terminal User Interface (TUI) to provide a richer, local-only view, for your Renovate debug logs.

asciicast showing an interactive session with a multi-repository Renovate run, with a split pane showing the log lines themselves, and a separate pane to view additional log context. There is also a summary view which shows high-level information about the repository

It also provides more advanced searching and filtering:

asciicast showing how to search and filter the logs in a given Renovate run

And can be used to surface issues in repository runs more visually:

asciicast showing the investigation of a Renovate run that has ended with a config-validation error

HTML exports

There are some additional utilities in the project, including the ability to generate a single-page HTML view of the logs:

renovate-pretty-log -path /path/to/debug.log -html > report.html

You can see a live example of what this looks like from one of Renovate's own runs..
