# What is Grafana Logs Drilldown?

Grafana Logs Drilldown visualizes Loki logs without writing LogQL. It is installed by default in Grafana and Grafana Cloud.

From the Grafana menu, select **Drilldown** > **Logs**. If you have more than one Loki data source, change **Data source** in the top toolbar. Logs Drilldown only supports Loki data sources.

Unless an administrator has set a custom default time range, the app opens on the last 15 minutes when the URL does not already set one. If a service shows no logs, widen the time picker.

## How it works

The opening page lists services by log volume. Select **Show logs** on a service to open that service.

On the service page you can:

- Read log lines on the **Logs** tab, and filter them by text or log level
- Open the **Labels**, **Fields**, and **Patterns** tabs to see log volume for each one. Patterns are mined from the previous three hours of logs, and Loki extracts them when pattern ingestion is enabled
- Open a panel menu and select **Explore** when you want the LogQL query for what you are looking at
