Filtering and Searching Logs Effectively
Master the log search interface to find exactly what you need.
Basic Search
The search bar at the top of the Logs page supports fuzzy, typo-tolerant text search across log messages. Type any keyword and results update instantly.
Level Filter
Click the level dropdown to filter by severity: Trace, Debug, Info, Warning, Error, Fatal. You can select multiple levels.
Service Filter
If you have multiple services sending logs, filter by service name to focus on one at a time.
Time Range
Choose from preset ranges (1h, 6h, 24h, 7d, 30d) or set a custom date range for investigating specific incidents.
Advanced Filters
Expand the advanced filters panel to search by:
- Environment — production, staging, development
- Source — file and line number
- Action — event type (e.g.,
user.signup) - User ID — find all logs for a specific user
- Tag — filter by any tag
- Trace ID — follow a distributed trace
- Session ID — see everything in a user session
- Release — logs from a specific deployment
- Version — application version
Combining Filters
All filters combine with AND logic. For example: Level = Error + Service = payment-service + Time = Last 24h shows only payment errors from the last day.
Frequently used filter combinations can be saved as named searches for quick access. See the next article on Saved Searches.
