Explore Logs, Spans & other Datasets

Nov 2, 2026

Filter a field by a search term in one click

New

Searching the Subsystem field for frontend in the Fields panel, with Add frontend to query and Exclude frontend from query controls below the matched value

In the Fields panel, type a value search on a field (for example, frontend under Subsystem). Two controls appear below the results: Add *frontend* to query keeps every value that contains the term, and Exclude *frontend* from query removes them. One click filters on every match, including values that haven't loaded into the list yet, instead of ticking them one by one. The filter is a wildcard, so the value checkboxes show which values it keeps, and selecting the opposite control removes it rather than leaving a query that matches nothing. Works in Builder and DataPrime mode. Learn more

Dataset picker improvements for multi-dataset and multi-team

Improved

Open dataset selector in the Explore Builder: a multi-select list grouped by team with the current team marked, an All teams toggle, per-dataset entity-type labels and version badges, and default, system, and frequent search dataspace filters

The shared dataset selector picks up a round of multi-dataset and multi-team feedback. The data-type field now offers Logs and Spans only, with JSON Data datasets listed under Logs. Hover a dataset row and select Only to narrow the selection to just that dataset. The list shows only each dataset's latest version and badges it when several exist. And with the All teams toggle off, the selector shows a flat list of your current team's datasets. Learn more

Oct 29, 2026

Pin keys on the Templates tab

Improved

The Options popover on the Templates tab, showing the Row size, Log format, and Manage keys controls

The Templates tab Options now includes Manage keys, so you can pin the keys you want at the top of each template's log example. The pinned keys are shared with the logs table: a key you pin on either tab shows on both. Learn more

Oct 29, 2026

Export the whole result set from Explore

Improved

Exporting Explore results: the Export data dialog with Field selection, Format, and Export record limit

The Explore export dialog no longer caps at 10,000 rows: it opens on your query's full result and lets you raise the Export record limit up to 50,000, re-running the query to fetch the rest. Field selection sets whether each record holds All fields or only your Selected grid fields, and an Export preview line sums up the file before you download. Learn more

Oct 29, 2026

Options and expandable rows for Spans and Traces

New

Spans, Traces, Flows

The Options control is now on the Spans and Traces grids, the same as Logs. Set the Row size (S, M, or L) and the Format (List, JSON with nested fields expanded, or Condensed), and open Manage keys to set Prioritized keys for the Resource column and Pinned keys for attributes; your keys carry over between Spans and Traces. Each row also gets a chevron that expands it in place to show the full span details (the root span on Traces) with a one-click copy, so you can investigate without opening a side panel. Learn more

Oct 29, 2026

Search highlights for spans

New

Search bar with autocomplete showing suggested keys, recent searches, and syntax helpers

When you filter spans with Add to filter (contains), the Builder, or DataPrime, the matching values are now highlighted in the spans grid, so you can see at a glance why each row matched. This brings spans in line with the existing highlighting for logs. Learn more

Oct 28, 2026

Break down results by source across datasets and teams

New

Open dataset selector in the Explore Builder: a multi-select list grouped by team with the current team marked, an All teams toggle, per-dataset entity-type labels and version badges, and default, system, and frequent search dataspace filters

When a query spans several datasets or teams, you can now group by the fields that identify each row's source: Pillar, Entity type, Dataspace, Dataset, Team ID, and Team name. Group by one or several to split your results by origin, with the breakdown carried through the Overview tab, the chart over time, and the results grid. Learn more

Oct 26, 2026

See count trends for log templates

New

The Templates grid with a Trends column of mini line charts next to Count

The Templates view now has a Trends column next to Count: a mini line chart of each template's log count over your selected time range, so you can tell at a glance whether a pattern is spiking, steady, or fading. Hover any point for its timestamp and log count. The templates grid also gains the same Options control as the Logs table, for setting row size and log format. Learn more

Oct 22, 2026

Customize surrounding spans from the tracing drilldown

Improved

The Customize surrounding spans dialog showing the Filter your search query and the Select time range controls

The span header in the tracing drilldown now has a View surrounding spans button that opens a Customize surrounding spans dialog. Scope the search with an editable query (it defaults to the span's service and operation) and set how much to load before and after the selected span: a duration (5 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes) or a number of spans (10, 30, or 50). Results open in a separate Explore tab, centered on the selected span, up to 100 spans total. The spans and traces grids offer the same action from their row menu, as Show surrounding spans and Show surrounding root spans. Learn more

Oct 21, 2026

Select multiple logs or spans for bulk actions

New

Bulk-actions bar on the Spans tab with three rows selected: Copy spans, Ask Olly, and a More actions menu with Copy span IDs, Copy permalink, and Export

Hold Cmd or Ctrl and select rows in the Explore results table to highlight several logs or spans at once. A bar at the bottom shows how many are selected and lets you copy them, copy their IDs, copy a permalink, export them, or send them to Olly, on both the Logs and Spans tabs. Selecting a row on its own still opens its drilldown. Learn more

Oct 21, 2026

Mark deployments and events on your charts with annotations

New

An annotation on the Explore logs chart: a deployment marker with a hover tooltip showing the count by severity at that time and the deployment event, its service, and environment.

The Annotations control in the Explore header overlays deployments, alerts, and other events on the time-series chart, so you can line a spike, drop, or shift up with the change that caused it. Turn it on, then select which types to show: Deployments and Custom events, sent through the ops-events ingest API. On logs, annotations follow the time range; on spans, they also follow the service and environment your query filters to. The same annotations appear in APM. Learn more

Oct 19, 2026

Query multiple datasets and teams in Explore

New

Open dataset selector in the Explore Builder: a multi-select list grouped by team with the current team marked, an All teams toggle, per-dataset entity-type labels and version badges, and default, system, and frequent search dataspace filters

The Explore dataset selector is now multi-select. Select several datasets at once, and, when you can access more than one team, datasets from other teams, and Explore runs a single query across the whole selection. A data-type selector (Logs, Spans, or JSON Data) scopes the list, dataspace filters narrow it, and your selection travels in the URL and is restored with the tab. Learn more

Oct 18, 2026

Quick actions run as DataPrime in a DataPrime tab

Improved

Explore overview animation

Selecting a Zero state quick-action tile in a DataPrime tab now runs the tile's query as DataPrime, so the editor shows the exact query that ran and you can keep editing it. Previously the tile was ignored and the tab kept its default query. Learn more

Oct 18, 2026

Format and copy queries in the Lucene editor

Improved

Search bar with autocomplete showing suggested keys, recent searches, and syntax helpers

The Builder Lucene editor now has Format query and Copy query actions next to Clear query, matching the DataPrime query bar. Format tidies whitespace and spacing so the query reads the way the chip builder writes it. Learn more

Oct 15, 2026

Field warnings before you run a query

New

High cardinality tooltip in the field context menu warning that grouping by a field with many unique values can slow the query

As you build a query, Explore now flags a field that can slow it down or skew its results before you run, so you fix the cause instead of waiting on a slow or timed-out query. The field name gets a wavy underline, and the hint names the reason (a high-cardinality group-by, a field with multiple mapped types, or a field that isn't indexed for part of the time range) and how to fix it. If you have Reserved fields access you can fix it from the hint; otherwise it points you to ask an admin. Each hint is advisory, so the query still runs. Learn more

Oct 15, 2026

Expand nested JSON fields by default

New

Logs table displaying log entries with Timestamp, Content, Application, and Subsystem columns, with a severity bar beside each row

The logs table Options popover adds an Expand nested fields switch under Log format when the format is JSON. Turn it on to open every nested field of each JSON log without expanding them one by one. Explore remembers your choice across sessions. Learn more

Oct 13, 2026

Keyboard shortcuts in Explore

New

The Keyboard shortcuts popup in Explore, listing shortcuts in the Query, Tabs and views, Panels and grid, and Info panel sections

Run, format, and pause queries, open query history and the time picker, move between and close tabs, save the view, show or hide the chart and the fields panel, and move focus into the results grid from the keyboard. Open the full list from Keyboard shortcuts in the query bar's more actions menu, or press Shift + Option + K (Mac) or Shift + Alt + K (Windows and Linux). Learn more

Oct 13, 2026

Expand template rows inline and switch the open details panel

Improved

Templates tab showing log pattern groups, with a Trends column of mini line charts next to Count

In the Templates tab, select any row to open the Template details panel, and select another row to switch the open panel to that template. Each template row also has an expand control that opens the template's log example inline, beneath the row. Learn more

Oct 12, 2026

Customize surrounding logs from the log details panel

Improved

Log details panel open on the right side of Explore showing the full log entry

View surrounding logs in the log details panel now opens a Customize surrounding logs dialog. Scope the search with an editable query (it defaults to the log's application and subsystem) and set how much to load before and after the selected log: a duration (5 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes) or a number of logs (10, 30, or 50). Results open in a separate Explore tab, centered on the original log, up to 100 logs total. Learn more

Oct 12, 2026

Convert a DataPrime query back to Builder

Improved

DataPrime mode

You can now switch from DataPrime back to Builder after editing the query, as long as it's a simple query (a source with filter, group by, and aggregation clauses). Explore translates it into the equivalent Builder query with no loss. Queries that are too complex to translate still open the Please note dialog. Learn more

Oct 12, 2026

Correlate logs to spans across multiple datasets

Improved

Open related data

In the tracing drilldown Logs tab, Setup Correlations now maps correlation fields across multiple log datasets at once. Select the datasets to include, then map Log fields, Span fields, and Service fields; the keys are pooled from every selected dataset, so one mapping covers them all. Learn more

Oct 11, 2026

URL Builder removed from Explore

Deprecated

Explore URLs are now plain, human-readable parameters like ?query=…&dataset=…&duration=… that you can read, hand-edit, and build from scratch, so the URL Builder dialog is no longer needed. URL Builder is removed from the Explore actions menu. To build a deep link, set the parameters by hand; to share the view you're looking at now, use Copy URL. Learn more

Oct 11, 2026

A saved view's link opens the saved state

Fixed

Opening a saved view's own URL showed the latest unsaved edits from an open tab instead of what was saved. Explore now reads each setting from the first source that has it - the URL, then the saved view, then the browser tab, then your lasting preference, then the default - so a link opens what the sender saw. The Content column's keys are also remembered per dataset now, so switching between datasets no longer carries one dataset's column layout onto another. Learn more

Oct 11, 2026

Filter spans by entry service

New

Query builder for spans

The spans query builder's relation filter now offers Entry service, to find the first span a service creates when it receives a request, the point where the request enters that service. Learn more

Oct 7, 2026

Invalid Builder queries show a red error state

Changed

Search bar with autocomplete showing suggested keys, recent searches, and syntax helpers

Run no longer locks when a Builder query is invalid, in either the chip builder or the Lucene editor. Select Run, or press Enter, and Explore sends no request, outlines the query bar in red, and a tooltip on Run gives the reason. An incomplete chip is outlined on its own instead of the whole bar: an aggregation chip with a function but no field, or, on spans datasets, a relation filter with no field or value. Your next edit clears the error, and nothing is marked while you type. Warnings still let the query run. Learn more

Oct 7, 2026

Format and copy DataPrime queries

Improved

DataPrime mode

The DataPrime query bar adds Format query, which lays a long query out one pipeline stage per line, and Copy query, next to Reset query and Run. Learn more

Oct 6, 2026

Query catalog is now Query history

Improved

Explore showing multiple views open in tabs with independent query states

The query drawer in Explore is renamed to make its purpose clearer. Query catalog is now Query history, its Recent tab is now Recents, and the Catalog tab, your explicitly saved queries, is now My saved queries. Only the labels changed, not how the drawer works. Learn more

Oct 6, 2026

Open a log's details with Space

Improved

Log details panel open on the right side of Explore showing the full log entry

In the Explore logs table, press Space on a highlighted row to open its log details panel. Enter no longer opens the panel, so it won't scroll the table out from under you. The same shortcut works for highlighted spans and traces, and in the logs correlation drilldown. Learn more

Oct 6, 2026

Expand or collapse a whole JSON log at once

Improved

Logs table displaying log entries with Timestamp, Content, Application, and Subsystem columns, with a severity bar beside each row

When the logs table shows a whole log as a JSON tree, a Content cell set to Full log with the JSON log format, or an expanded detail row in JSON, an Expand all / Collapse all control sits next to Copy content. Select it to open every nested key at once, then collapse them again, instead of clicking through the tree level by level. Learn more

Oct 5, 2026

Copy and expand a log's content from the logs table

Improved

Logs table displaying log entries with Timestamp, Content, Application, and Subsystem columns, with a severity bar beside each row

Hover a Content cell in the Explore logs table to get two new controls. Copy content, at the top right of the cell, copies the cell's content straight from the row. Show full content, at the bottom right, appears only when an entry is longer than the row can show: select it to grow that one cell to its full height, and Show less to return it to your Row size. Expanding a cell doesn't change your Row size setting or any other row. Learn more

Oct 4, 2026

Spot templates that stopped receiving logs

Improved

Templates tab showing log pattern groups, with a Trends column of mini line charts next to Count

A log template that no longer receives new logs is marked Inactive template in place of its First Seen timestamp, with the same marker in the Template details panel. Read alongside First Seen, it tells you whether a pattern is genuinely gone - retired by a deployment or a config change - or simply quiet in the range you selected. Learn more

Oct 4, 2026

Builder blocks invalid queries before they run

Improved

Search bar with autocomplete showing suggested keys, recent searches, and syntax helpers

In Builder mode, Explore now validates your query as you edit it. A query the parser can't accept is no longer auto-submitted: the Run control is disabled and a tooltip explains why, so you catch the problem before the search runs instead of reading an error afterwards. Warnings still let the query run. Learn more

Oct 1, 2026

Faster field values on long time ranges

Improved

The Fields panel showing detected fields, favorites, and value distributions

Expanding a field in the Explore Fields panel over a long time range no longer leaves you watching a placeholder. On ranges of about a day or longer, including the Last 24 hours preset, each value now appears straight away with a partial count, written with a leading tilde such as ~45K, that climbs toward the final number as more of the range is counted. The count pulses while it loads, and hovering it explains that the rest of the range is still being counted. The exact counts replace the partial ones in place as soon as they finish, and values keep their positions, so a value you were about to filter on doesn't move. Learn more

Sep 28, 2026

Row size and Log format in the logs table Options

Improved

Logs table displaying log entries with Timestamp, Content, Application, and Subsystem columns, with a severity bar beside each row

The Options popover in the Explore logs table now opens with a Row size control that replaces the text-wrap toggle: S keeps every entry on one truncated line, M wraps it over up to three lines, and L over up to six. Two controls were also renamed to match what they do. Type is now Content, and it appears only while the Content column is among your selected columns, which you add or remove from Columns. Display is now Log format, and it applies wherever a whole log renders: expanded rows, the Source column, and Content cells set to Full log. Learn more

Sep 27, 2026

One context menu for every field in Explore logs

Improved

Logs table displaying log entries with Timestamp, Content, Application, and Subsystem columns, with a severity bar beside each row

The logs table and the log details panel now share one field context menu. Selecting a key or a value opens the same menu, narrowed to the actions that apply to what you selected, and each action shows the field or field:value it targets: exactly what it writes to the query or copies to the clipboard. In the log details panel, the Application and Subsystem chips are now a single button. Learn more

Sep 27, 2026

Legacy Explore is deprecated

Deprecated

Legacy Explore banner reading "New Explore is here! Your query and filters carry over" with a Try it now link

Coralogix will retire Legacy Explore, the Logs, Log Templates, and Tracing screens under /query-new/, on December 15, 2026. No action is needed for day-to-day investigations: you're moved to the new Explore automatically. Rebuild any bookmark, runbook, alert webhook, or script that builds a legacy link, since those redirect to the new Explore once the screens are removed. LiveTail and Visual Explorer are not affected. Learn more

Sep 24, 2026

Fields panel in DataPrime mode

Improved

The Fields panel showing detected fields, favorites, and value distributions

The Explore Fields panel now works in DataPrime mode. Expand a field to filter by value, manage columns, and group by directly from the panel. Your selections are written as filter clauses at the start of the query, and the panel stays in sync with edits you make in the query bar. Learn more

Sep 23, 2026

Purpose-built columns for the RUM events dataset

Improved

Open dataset selector in the Explore Builder: a multi-select list grouped by team with the current team marked, an All teams toggle, per-dataset entity-type labels and version badges, and default, system, and frequent search dataspace filters

When you query the rum.events dataset in Explore, the grid now opens with columns built for RUM data: the timestamp, a User name column resolved from the event's email, ID, or name, the event type, a Content column that shows the most relevant field per event type, such as the error message for errors or the resolved name for user interactions, and the application. A View in RUM Sessions action on any field value opens RUM Sessions filtered to that key:"value". Learn more

Sep 23, 2026

More chart types and a full view for field distributions

Improved

The Fields panel showing detected fields, favorites, and value distributions

The Show distribution chart you open from a field now offers five chart types: vertical bar, horizontal bar, area, line, and pie. A Full view icon expands the chart to fill the screen, and Exit view collapses it back. Learn more

Sep 22, 2026

More Explore tabs, with an overflow menu

Improved

Explore showing multiple views open in tabs with independent query states

You can now keep up to 10 views open in Explore tabs, up from 5. When the tabs don't all fit across the bar, the extra ones collapse into an N more overflow menu instead of squeezing the page actions, and each tab label is truncated with a tooltip so long view names stay readable. Learn more

Sep 17, 2026

Free-text search matches are highlighted inline

Improved

Logs table displaying log entries with Timestamp, Content, Application, and Subsystem columns, with a severity bar beside each row

When you run a free-text search in Explore, matching text is now highlighted where you read the data: in the logs table, and in the log details panel's Log tab across all three view modes, Table, JSON, and Raw. Your search term is called out in place, so you no longer have to scan a full log line or payload to find which part of the record matched. Learn more · Log details panel

Sep 17, 2026

Pause a running query

New

Search bar with autocomplete showing suggested keys, recent searches, and syntax helpers

A query that is still executing in Explore can now be paused mid-run, in both Builder and DataPrime mode. If a search is taking longer than you expected, stop it where it is instead of waiting for it to finish. Learn more

Sep 16, 2026

Export timestamps in a readable format

Improved

Exporting Explore results: the Export data dialog with Field selection, Format, and Export record limit, then selecting Export

The Explore export dialog has a Date format control. Keep the default Standard to write the Timestamp column exactly as it appears in the grid, or switch to Unformatted to export the raw epoch value. Previously, CSV exports always wrote the raw epoch timestamp. Learn more

Sep 16, 2026

Pin keys to the top of every log

New

Logs table displaying log entries with Timestamp, Content, Application, and Subsystem columns, with a severity bar beside each row

The Content column's key controls now live in a Manage keys drawer with two tabs. The Pinned keys tab pins body keys to the top of each log in the Full log view, in the order you set, so the properties you scan for first stay visible without changing the message. The Prioritized keys tab controls the message the Content column shows in the Message view. Open the drawer from the results toolbar: select Options, then Modify next to Manage keys. Learn more

Sep 16, 2026

Over-time charts in every Explore Tracing view

Improved

The spans chart above the results panel, switching between the Overview, RED metrics, and Outliers modes

The Overview, RED metrics, and Outlier views in Explore Tracing now show their over-time chart alongside the results grid, so you can read the chart and the spans behind it together instead of switching between them, and the visualization updates with your query. RED metrics and Outliers previously lived in the Signals tab, which is now gone: a button group on the chart switches between Overview (the new default), RED metrics, and Outliers across every spans tab. Overview buckets the spans matching your query over time, with the group by, aggregation, and chart type following the current query. RED metrics charts rate, errors, and duration for those spans, and focusing a single chart expands it across the chart area. Outlier plots latency percentiles (P95, P99, and P99.9) and error counts over time, where each dot is a single span you can select to open its trace. Learn more

Sep 14, 2026

Choose which attributes the spans Resource column shows

Improved

Spans, Traces, Flows

The Resource column in the Explore Spans and Traces tabs picks the most descriptive attribute on each span, such as an HTTP route, a gRPC method, a database operation, or a messaging topic. You can now decide that order yourself. On the Spans tab, select the settings icon in the Resource column header to open the Resource column keys panel, then reorder, add, or remove keys the same way you do for the logs Content column and select Apply. Return to default restores the built-in priority, and your selection is stored with a saved view's table settings. Learn more

Sep 9, 2026

New row display options and expandable rows in the logs table

Improved

Logs table displaying log entries with Timestamp, Content, Application, and Subsystem columns, with a severity bar beside each row

The Explore logs table has a new Options popover for controlling how rows render: turn on Text wrap to wrap long entries, show or hide the Content column, switch the Content column between Message and Full log, and pick a Display style (JSON, Condensed, or List) for wrapped rows. Each row can also expand in place: select the expand control or double-click a row to reveal the full log's attributes, or press Enter to open the log details panel. Learn more

Sep 7, 2026

Reorder, remove, and restore any Content column key

Improved

Logs table displaying log entries with Timestamp, Content, Application, and Subsystem columns, with a severity bar beside each row

In Explore, the Content column key list is now a single reorderable set. Prioritized keys appear as numbered chips, and the built-in default keys, which used to be fixed, are now ordinary chips you can reorder, remove, and restore alongside your own. A Return to default action restores the default set, and changes take effect when you select Apply. Learn more

Sep 2, 2026

Group-by charts no longer show misleading empty gaps

Improved

Graph configuration popover

Grouping the Explore time-series chart by a high-cardinality field no longer leaves buckets looking empty when their data belongs to groups the chart doesn't draw individually. Those groups now fold into a single Other (N) series for Count and Sum aggregations, so every time bucket reflects the data that exists. In the field distribution panel (Show distribution), the heading now shows the field's true number of distinct values, and reads Top 50 of N when a field has more than 50 values. Learn more

Sep 1, 2026

Export up to 50,000 rows from Explore

Improved

Exporting Explore results: the Export data dialog with Field selection, Format, and Export record limit, then selecting Export

Explore exports now allow up to 50,000 rows across all datasets (the Logs and Spans tabs and DataPrime queries) five times the previous 10,000-row limit. The export dialog defaults to the higher cap, so you can pull larger result sets in a single CSV, TSV, or JSON file. Learn more

Sep 1, 2026

Span status badges show orange for inferred errors

Improved

Spans, Traces, Flows

Explore spans and the trace drilldown now show an orange status badge when a span returns a failing HTTP or gRPC status but isn't explicitly flagged with an error tag, for example, an HTTP 403 on a server span. This keeps client-side conditions from reading as critical server errors, while spans that do carry an error tag keep their existing red or yellow badges. The Errors toggle is unchanged: it still matches only spans flagged with error: true. Learn more

Aug 31, 2026

Templates in DataPrime mode and across all log datasets

Improved

Templates tab showing log pattern groups, with a Trends column of mini line charts next to Count

DataPrime mode. Log templates, previously available only in Builder, now work in DataPrime mode too. Learn more

Every log dataset. Template generation runs across all your log datasets, predefined and custom, not just specific sources. Learn more

DataPrime-aware filtering, In DataPrime mode, the Templates view respects your query. Filter down to a specific source and see only the templates that match what you're investigating. Learn more

Visualize a field from a template. Chart a field's distribution or a value's trend for a specific pattern, straight from the templates grid. Learn more

Aug 30, 2026

Legacy Explore is scheduled for removal in December 2026

Deprecated

Explore overview animation

Legacy Explore (V1) will be removed in December 2026, move your saved links and day-to-day workflows to the new Explore before then. Selecting Try it now in Legacy Explore carries your query and fields straight across, and saved legacy links open in the new experience intact. The option to set Legacy Explore as your default view is being retired ahead of the removal date. Learn more

Aug 25, 2026

Templates: more row actions, column reorder, and Olly context

Improved

Templates tab showing log pattern groups, with a Trends column of mini line charts next to Count

Copy template ID. Every template row's more actions menu adds Copy template ID, which copies the pattern's ID to the clipboard so you can reuse it as a filter in other queries. Learn more

Add to Olly context. Hover a template row, or open the Template details panel, and select Add to Olly context to pin the pattern to an Olly chat as data context. Learn more

Reorder columns. Drag a column header in the templates grid to arrange the columns in the order that suits your investigation. Learn more

General templates. The row that aggregates unclassified logs now appears labeled General templates in the Template column, so it's easy to spot. Learn more

Aug 18, 2026

Reordering Explore tabs works on the first drag

Fixed

Dragging a tab to reorder it in Explore now works on the first attempt, including right after you add or remove a tab. Previously, the first drag after the set of open tabs changed could snap the tab back without reordering, and a second drag was needed. Learn more

Aug 17, 2026

AI Query Assistance in Explore is now generally available

Changed

DataPrime mode

AI Query Assistance (describe what you're looking for in plain language and Olly writes the DataPrime query for you) is now available to all customers, no early access required. Learn more

Aug 17, 2026

Filter on part of a value in Explore

Improved

Logs table displaying log entries with Timestamp, Content, Application, and Subsystem columns, with a severity bar beside each row

Select a whole field value and use Filter by for an exact match, or select just part of it and use Add to filter to search for that substring wherever it appears, no need to hand-write wildcard or contains syntax. It works in the results grid and the log details panel, in both Builder and DataPrime. Learn more

Aug 17, 2026

Version Benchmark tags on the Explore chart

Improved

Graph configuration popover

The time-series chart above the results grid now marks your Version Benchmark tags on the time axis. Select a marker to open that tag's benchmark comparison against the preceding tag in a new tab, so you can line up a change in your data with the version or event that preceded it. Learn more

Aug 17, 2026

See up to 1,000 traces in the Traces tab

Improved

The Traces tab of Explore spans now lists up to 1,000 traces for your query and time range, up from 50, so you can compare far more traces across broad time ranges and high-traffic services without narrowing first. Learn more

Aug 12, 2026

Fields panel value counts

Improved

The Fields panel showing detected fields, favorites, and value distributions

The Fields panel now uses smarter counting logic: zero-count values are hidden after filtering, a field's own active filters no longer skew its own counts, and actively selected or excluded values stay visible even when other filters drive their count to zero. Value order stays fixed during an investigation and only resets on a new query or time range change. Learn more

Aug 12, 2026

Legacy Explore carries your context into new Explore

Improved

Explore overview animation

Clicking Try it now from Legacy Explore now carries your entire context (query and fields) straight into the new Explore. No rebuilding, no lost work. Saved legacy links open instantly in the new experience, fully intact. Learn more

Aug 12, 2026

Visual Explorer save-as-dashboard naming dialog

New

Save as dashboard dialog: When saving a Visual Explorer chart as a dashboard, a dialog now prompts you to name the dashboard before it is created. Enter a name and select Save. The new dashboard opens in a separate browser tab. Learn more

Aug 6, 2026

Templates: see raw logs and inspect unclassified patterns

Improved

Templates tab showing log pattern groups, with a Trends column of mini line charts next to Count

See raw logs. Every template row's more actions menu adds See raw logs, which switches to the Logs tab filtered to the entries behind the pattern. Learn more

Unclassified log details. Selecting an unclassified template, or the row that groups them, opens the Template details panel in a Failed classification state that explains why the logs could not be grouped into a template. Learn more
