access CORE logger results from within an action?

[Urs_Boller]

is there an option to access the results from the CORE logger from within an action? Basically access the data which can be fetched from console using "aio rt activation list/get" but within an action. Idea is to have an UI which displays the log results.
Currently I have written my own logger which stores some basic debug information within a file in aio-lib-files but it would be more flexibel and future-proof if I could access the CORE logger directly.
Here is a screenshot from my own logger which I would love to replace by accessing the "aio rt activation" information:

Hi @Urs_Boller - It would be possible using the openwhisk npm, particularly ow.activations.logs (I couldn't find the example in docs, but here is the API: https://github.com/apache/openwhisk-client-js/blob/master/lib/activations.js#L35). I am yet to try it though, will do later today.

oh - good to know! I'll give it a try! if this works, I could build a simple UI to access the logs - without the need to write a custom logger....

@duypnguyen I endended up writing my own logger - closing this question...
