I mean, the filter function will look up for any string in a row, we can't put a button to "Search by date" or "search by request", if the user types a date, it will filter this date. If the user filter "Kimchi" and there's a user named "kimchiuser", the log will show all records starting with "kimchi" and will display all actions done in Kimchi plugin and actions in other plugins done by kimchiuser.

The amount of logs can be defined later, based on what fits better our 
UI design. Pagination is essential in my opinion.

I liked the filter function and think it works well for the Web UI. 
Since it will result in different possibilities of searches/results when 
compared to the REST API, my concern is regarding saving the logs. Would 
it be possible to generate a txt file for the user to save the logs for 
what she is seeing? Perhaps we need to provide a specific backend API 
for that...

If we have to add pagination, then we'll use jQuery Bootgrid. If we don't need to page the records, then we'll use wok.datagrid().
