Log monitoring

The Logs app in Kibana enables you to search, filter, and tail all your logs ingested into Elasticsearch. Instead of having to log into different servers, change directories, and tail individual files, all your logs are available in the Logs app.

Using Elastic Agent integrations, you can ingest logs from Kubernetes, MySQL, and many more data sources. Log events are indexed into Elasticsearch and are sorted from older to newer, with infinite scrolling in both directions.

Logs Explorer allows you to quickly search and filter your log data, get information about the structure of log fields, and display your findings in a visualization.

Refer to the Logs Explorer documentation for more on using Logs Explorer.

There is also live streaming of logs, filtering using auto-complete, and a logs histogram for quick navigation. You can also use machine learning to detect specific log anomalies automatically and categorize log messages to quickly identify patterns in your log events.

To view the Logs app, go to Observability > Logs.
