What is Logs Drilldown?

Grafana Logs Drilldown is a queryless interface for investigating logs. It automatically visualizes your logs without writing LogQL.

How it works

Logs Drilldown automatically detects fields and patterns in your logs, letting you:

  • See all available log streams
  • Narrow down by labels, fields, and text
  • Search log content without writing LogQL
  • See log volume over time to spot spikes and drops

Script

Grafana Logs Drilldown is a queryless interface for investigating logs. It removes the need to write LogQL queries.

When logs are accessible in Grafana, Logs Drilldown automatically detects fields and labels in your log data. You can filter by these fields, search for text patterns, and analyze log volumes without query syntax.

The interface works similarly to Metrics Drilldown. You start with your log streams, apply filters to narrow down what you’re looking at, and search for specific text or patterns. The logs appear in a readable format with detected fields highlighted.

This makes log investigation accessible to everyone. You don’t need to know LogQL label matchers or regular expression syntax. You click on what you want to filter by and type what you want to search for.
