Ability to view the current log and log.1 (before restart) from the UI

[Dujith (Charles Evers)]

Its a minor thing but i do have remind myself that there is a log.1 to view after the OS restarted for some reason. Its simple enough via SSH/File viewer/ Ect. But i do not see a reason why i can see the current log but not the previous log from the UI.

View System logs in UI from before startup

Today my homeassistant hung, so I had to restart my raspberry pi to make it all work again. There is a System Log in the UI, but that only show logs from after startup. But the actual logs, when something really bad happens which is before your restarted homeassistant, you cannot see via the UI. This is very annoying. I know you can find some logs via ssh etc. but why not make things easier for users…
