Filtering System Log Crashes Browser

[jimerb]

I'm trying to investigate a problem by filtering the system log to the "current day". (I can't specify an hour range.)

When i do this, a fire-hose of data starts hitting my browser and it locks it up. I can't move anything. It even dramatically slows down my pc. I wait for over 10 minutes. Then I force the browser closed.

I'm running 9.0.3 with the latest updates applied.

This happens in Edge and Firefox. It is trivial to replicate this problem.

Is there a fix for this or workaround that does not require entering crazy commands to get the log I'm looking for? I'm fairly new to Proxmox.

A workaround can be logging to the host via ssh (or opening the console in the GUI) and issuing journalctl, optionally with options for specifying a time range (see man journalctl for details.

this did the trick:
journalctl --since "2025-10-03 03:04:00" --until "2025-10-03 03:09:00"

But boy oh boy is this an obvious bug.
