Log Explorer

Open Logs from the left navigation menu to access Log Explorer.

Log Explorer indexes logs from all connected services and applications. Use it to search large log volumes, inspect structured payloads, save frequently used queries, and investigate issues without leaving the platform.

The main view combines a log volume graph with a result list. Each row in the list represents a single log entry and shows the most useful attributes for quick triage.

The graph shows log volume over time. The x-axis represents time and the y-axis represents the number of ingested log entries.

The Log Explorer main view, with the log volume graph above the field filters and a list of log entries showing time, service, and message.

Select any log entry to inspect its full payload, labels, and metadata.

Use the search bar at the top of Log Explorer to find matching log entries across your environment.
