Summary

Explore Logs, introduced at GrafanaCon and now in Public Preview, is a tool designed to help users quickly gain insights from logs without needing to write queries, streamlining the troubleshooting process for SREs and developers. The tool features an improved user interface, including the ability to group logs into patterns for identifying areas of interest or noise, enhanced service selection with autocomplete for faster service discovery, and an overhaul of labels and fields for more accessible data sorting and filtering. Users can interact directly with log lines through features like a table view and color indicators, facilitating easier extraction of relevant information. Public documentation is available to assist users, and Explore Logs can be accessed by most Grafana Cloud customers, as well as those using Grafana Enterprise or open source Grafana, through the plugin catalog. Users are encouraged to provide feedback through various channels to help refine and enhance the tool further.
