To get some unique-client logs I have been using ssh and the commands :  
cd /var/log  
tail -f pihole.log | grep "your-target-ip-here"

Can we have a more refined UI based method to create logs for a specific client? I have checked and we do have Tail pihole.log, under TOOLS. But unless I'm mistaken I can't get a log from a unique single client yet. Perhaps just as simple a box where you type in/or drop-down-menu of registered clients and then select the target client. I would appreciate being able to save the output log to text, as well.

Also, as a comment, perhaps being able to adjust font size of the current pihole.log file (live) ?

Did you open this in Partially Implemented on purpose?

From the _Query Log_, if you CTRL-click on an entry in the _Client_ column, that will filter the log for that client; there's also a mouse-over explaining this.  
The client you wish to filter for has to be in view for this approach.

From the _Dashboard_, clicking on an entry under _Top Clients_ will take you to a filtered _Query Log_.  
The client you wish to filter for has to be visible in your _Top Clients_.

You could also filter for an arbitrary client by using the following URL pattern:  
[http://pi.hole/admin/queries.php?client=localhost](http://pi.hole/admin/queries.php?client=localhost)  
or  
[http://pi.hole/admin/queries.php?client=127.0.0.1](http://pi.hole/admin/queries.php?client=127.0.0.1)
