Filter Section

The Log Browser provides several filters to refine the number of log entries displayed in the table:

• Filter by Keyword: Allows filtering log entries by a specific term.

• Filter by App: Allows filtering by one or more apps within the current space.

• Filter by Level: Enables filtering by specific log levels such as trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal, audit and metric.

• Time Range: Allows filtering logs within a specified time range, such as “Last 30 minutes”.

Optimizing Your Search with Filters
Using filters like App and adjusting the Time Range can enhance performance by reducing the dataset, leading to faster search results.

Additional Options

• Polling interval: Lets you set an automatic polling interval (in seconds) to refresh the Logs table and fetch the latest entries. The default option is "No polling."

• Refresh button: Allows you to manually refresh the Logs table to display the most recent log entries.

Log Browser Table Columns

The Log Browser table includes the following columns:

• Timestamp: Displays the date and time of the log entry. This column is sortable.

• App: Shows the app’s ID and name associated with the log entry.

• Level: Displays the severity level of the log entry.

• Message: Shows the message body of the log entry, or if unavailable, the entire log content.

Expandable Log Entries
