Exploring and analyzing logs

Using the Alert events page​

On the Alert events page, alert events show what's happening in real time and allow you to react quickly to incidents.

Using dashboards​

Create dashboards to view and explore your data visually. Dashboards display both current information and historical data, allowing you to examine trends and understand changes over time.

Using the log explorer​

The Log Explorer page allows you to search and filter logs so you can investigate issues and perform root-cause analysis.

  • Use the Time period list at the top right of the page to select the range of logs to display.
  • Use the search bar to filter your logs using Lucene queries. You can enrich your search with additional context (attributes) to refine the results and identify the root cause of problems.
  • Navigate your data using the timeline.

Generating a summary of your logs​

Once the Log explorer page only shows the logs you want, generate a summary of the displayed logs to see what they can tell you: click the Summarize logs button to the right of the search bar.
