Search the logs

If you are already familiar with your logs and know the structure, you can quickly spot anomalies or errors by searching for specific keywords.

To search the logs, perform the following steps:

  1. On the Logs tab, review the Log volume dashboard and click the log legend to filter it by log level.

    The following example shows the error log level selected and all error logs listed.

  2. To search for specific error logs, type a text query in the Search in log lines field.

    The following example shows search results for all error logs containing the word red.

  3. If necessary, use the time picker located in the upper-right of the page to adjust the time range.

In the next milestone, you’ll learn to use labels and fields to continue filtering your logs.
