Logs
The Logs panel lets you search and filter log entries from your applications. Navigate to Insights > Logs.
Filters
- Time range — Last hour, 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days
- Severity — Filter by level: Error, Warning, Info, or Debug
- Search — Full-text search across log message bodies. Press Enter or click Search to apply.
Log Entry Fields
Each log entry shows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
severity_text | Log level (ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG) |
received_at | When the log was received |
body | The log message content |
source | The originating service (if provided) |
trace_id | Associated trace ID (if provided) |
span_id | Associated span ID (if provided) |
Severity Indicators
Log entries are color-coded by severity:
- Error — Red
- Warning — Yellow
- Info — Blue
- Debug — Gray
Trace Correlation
If a log entry includes a trace_id, it appears as a clickable link at the bottom of the entry. Click it to navigate to the Traces panel filtered to that trace's waterfall view.
This lets you go from a log message directly to the full distributed trace that produced it.
Filtering by Trace ID
When you navigate to Logs from the Traces panel (via "View Logs"), the logs are automatically filtered to the selected trace ID. A blue banner at the top shows the active trace filter with a Clear button to remove it.
You can also share filtered URLs directly — the trace ID is stored as a query parameter: /insights/logs?trace_id=abc123.
Load More
If there are more results than the initial page, a Load More button appears at the bottom. The footer shows the total count and whether you've reached the end of results.
TIP
To send logs from your applications, use the Air API's log ingestion endpoint. See Sending Telemetry Data.
