Explore Logs, Spans & other Datasets
Export up to 50,000 rows from Explore
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
Span status badges show orange for inferred errors
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
Templates in DataPrime mode and across all log datasets
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
Legacy Explore is scheduled for removal in December 2026
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
Templates: more row actions, column reorder, and Olly context
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
Reordering Explore tabs works on the first drag
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
AI Query Assistance in Explore is now generally available
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
Filter on part of a value in Explore
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
Version Benchmark tags on the Explore chart
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
See up to 1,000 traces in the Traces tab
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
Fields panel value counts
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
Legacy Explore carries your context into new Explore
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

Generate DataPrime queries with Olly
In DataPrime mode, describe what you're looking for in plain language and Olly writes the query for you, for whichever dataset you've selected in Explore, not only logs. When your request implies a time range, Olly sets the time picker to that window when you run the query. Learn more
Filter by field presence in the Builder
The query Builder adds Exists and Not exists operators, so you can filter on whether a field is present at all without typing a query. Select either operator on a chip and the value input disappears. The chip is complete with just a field and an operator. Learn more
Filter field values with checkboxes and Only
In the Fields panel, each value row now has a checkbox that shows and sets whether the value is included or excluded, keeping the panel and the query bar in sync. A new Only action narrows a field to a single value in one step, clearing the field's other selections. Learn more
Stack series on the time-series chart
The time-series chart's graph configuration adds a Stacked option for vertical bar and area charts. Choose Absolute to stack real values, or Relative to compare each group's share of the total per bucket. Learn more
Built-in DataPrime cheat sheet
Look up DataPrime syntax without leaving the query editor. In DataPrime mode, open the cheat sheet from the query bar to browse the reference by section, search it, and copy examples straight into your query. Learn more
Frequent Search dataset: Select Frequent Search as a dataset directly in the dataset selector when querying Logs or Spans, alongside your default datasets. Learn more
DataPrime chart visualizations: DataPrime query results can now be rendered as charts, expanding visualization options beyond the table view.
Fields by OTel section: The Fields panel groups fields by OpenTelemetry semantic convention section, making it easier to navigate fields that follow OTel naming conventions.
Readable, shareable URLs in Explore
Human-readable URLs. Explore deep links now use plain query parameters like ?query=…&dataset=…&duration=… that you can read, hand-edit, or build from scratch. Learn more

Saved views: Save as, tab updates, and Duplicate
Save as a separate view. Open the tab's menu and select Save as to save your current state without overwriting the loaded view. Learn more
Tab labels. Ad-hoc query tabs are now numbered Explore (1), Explore (2), and so on, until you save them. Learn more
Duplicate a tab. Open the tab's menu and select Duplicate to work on a copy of the tab without affecting the saved view. The clone is suffixed (copy) and unlinked from the source view. Learn more
Export updates: more surfaces, file-name validation, entity-aware copy
Export from any grid. Export is now available on the Traces, Templates, and Overview tabs, alongside Logs and Spans. The three added surfaces export the rows currently loaded client-side; Logs and Spans export server-side up to 10,000 rows. Learn more
Export aggregated and grouped results. The Overview tab renders aggregated and grouped results from both Builder and DataPrime modes and supports export. Builder mode exports as CSV or TSV; DataPrime mode also supports JSON. Learn more
Entity-aware copy on the Spans tab. The Export dialog and toasts use span-specific wording on the Spans tab (Span count, Exporting spans..., Spans exported successfully). Learn more
File-name validation. File names accept letters, numbers, and ., _, or - only, up to 255 characters. Invalid characters show an inline error and the Export button stays inactive. Learn more
Overview tab for spans
A new Overview tab on the spans dataset renders aggregated span queries as sortable tables or charts. Rank services by error count, surface the slowest operations, or see status-code distributions at a glance. Learn more
Highlights tab in Explore spans
Break the spans matching your query down by field in a dedicated Highlights tab. Switch between Duration, Errors, and Total Requests views, and toggle Compare to previous period to surface regressions side by side, a Diff column ranks fields by how much each value changed between the two windows. Learn more
Signals tab for spans
A new Signals tab on the spans dataset surfaces Rate, Errors, and Duration for the active query. A button group at the top of the tab switches between Outliers (latency percentiles, error counts, and individual span samples overlaid on a single chart) and RED metrics, Rate, Errors, and Duration as three side-by-side charts. Each chart has its own configuration, and selecting any data point opens the tracing drilldown on the most representative span for the active aggregation. Learn more
Custom actions in Explore
Manage actions panel. Open the kebab menu in the Explore query bar and select Manage actions to create, edit, and organize custom actions in Private and Shared sections. Learn more

Span-relationship filters in the query builder
A new Relation option in the Spans query builder lets you find spans based on their position within a trace. Choose from seven relation types (Root, Only root, Parent, Entry service, Child, Any, and Not any) and combine multiple filters with AND or OR. The builder generates the matching DataPrime relational query automatically, so you can switch to DataPrime at any time to inspect or refine the query. Learn more
Explore spans: three-tab investigation experience
Renamed to Explore spans. Explore Tracing is now Explore spans, reflecting a span-first investigation flow. Learn more
Three tabs, one investigation. Spans, Traces, and Flows share the same query, time range, and filters. Switch tabs as your question changes, from operation-level (Spans) to request-level (Traces) to topology (Flows). Learn more
