Telemetry is in early access. To turn it on for your workspace, book a call or ask in Discord.
Explore → Logs lists the log records your services send, newest first. The page URL holds the search, filters, and time range, so you can share a link to the same view. Click the search bar or press /. As you type, the bar suggests fields and values:
  • Plain text adds Search messages for ”…”. It matches the message, or the event name of a log without one. Case is ignored.
  • service.name and level filter by service and level.
  • trace.id filters to one trace. Paste a 32-character trace ID to add it directly.
  • Any attribute key seen in the time range, grouped as Resource attributes and Log attributes.
Pick a field, then an operator (= is, != is not), then a value from the suggestions or type your own. You can also type the filter in one go, such as deployment.environment!=staging or log.http.status_code=500. A key without a prefix is read as a resource attribute unless it matches a listed attribute. Each filter becomes a chip. Click a chip to edit it, or × to remove it. Several values of one field match any of them. Different fields must all match. The sidebar lists Service and Level with counts, and every attribute key below them. Click a key to see its top values and check the ones you want. Up to 10 attribute facets stay open; opening another closes the oldest. Use Search facets to find a key.

​
Time range

The time picker defaults to the last hour. It offers:
  • Relative ranges from Last 5 minutes to Last 30 days, plus Today so far and Yesterday.
  • Absolute From and To times with a calendar.
  • Typed ranges, such as 3h, yesterday, or 14:00 to 15:30.
  • A time zone: Browser time, UTC, or any zone.
The arrows beside the range move it earlier or later. Zoom out doubles it. A range can be up to 30 days long. Click the refresh button to reload with the current time. The same picker is used on trace search, metrics, and dashboards.

​
Results

A histogram above the list shows matching logs over time, split into Error, Warn, and Other. The list has these columns: The list shows 100 logs per page. Use Previous and Next to page through.

​
Log details

Click a log to open its details. Use the arrows in the header to move to the previous or next log. The panel shows:
  • The full message.
  • Exception: the exception type, message, and stack trace, when the log has them.
  • Attributes: event_name, trace_id, and span_id first, then log attributes and resource attributes. Use Filter keys to find one.
Hover an attribute for Filter, Exclude, and Copy. Filter and Exclude add the value to your search.

​
Jump to the trace or error

When the log has a trace ID, the panel shows:
  • Open trace opens the trace in the trace view.
  • Logs in this trace filters the list to logs with the same trace ID.
When the log is at ERROR level or above and belongs to an error issue, Open error opens the issue. See Errors.

​
Query logs from an agent

The MCP server has a query_logs tool, and the management API has POST /telemetry/logs/search. Use them to let an agent search logs with the same filters.
