Exploring Logs

There are 3 primary ways of exploring Logs depending on specific use cases.

  • Logs Explorer: Use Last9's native UI for logs with first-class search and filters in the Builder mode or the LogQL-compatible Editor mode for advanced queries. Quickly view related logs, traces, and metrics by clicking on any log line. Learn more.
  • Grafana Loki: For people who are familiar with Loki, use Last9's embedded instance of Grafana. Learn more.
  • 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.

tip

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.
