Logs
Everything you need to know to start exploring Logs with Last9.
Once you start sending logs to Last9 using one of the available integrations it is time to explore logs data.
There are 3 primary ways of exploring Logs depending on specific use cases.
Logs Explorer
Last9 provides a native experience to explore the logs without using any query language.
The Log Explorer allows to filter logs by specific log attributes and resource attributes, slice and dice log dimension. It also allows to view logs data in differnt timezones.
Visit Logs Explorer to start exploring logs.
Grafana Loki
Last9 provides a Grafana Loki interface to logs data. You can perform LogQL queries to explore logs in this interface. This is useful for structured exploration of logs data for people who are familiar with Grafana and Loki.
SQL Exploration
Last9 also allows exploring raw logs data using Clickhouse SQL. This is useful for adhoc exploration of Logs for deeper analysis. Contact Last9 team to provision a custom SQL data source for you.
Accelerated Queries
Last9 accelerates queries when a query is made on following attributes.
- Service
- Severity
For this reason, users are encouraged to filter by Service or Severity first when searching for long time ranges.
The Logs Explorer and Loki interface shows only Service, Severity and Body attributes as first filters by default for time ranges greater than 15 minutes.
