Log Explorer

The Log Explorer is the primary interface for searching, filtering, and analyzing logs collected across your entire infrastructure. Whether you are running Kubernetes workloads, virtual machines, or bare-metal servers, the Log Explorer gives you a unified view of every log line ingested by KubeSense — with millisecond-precision timestamps, powerful search capabilities, and deep correlation with traces and infrastructure metrics.

Overview

The Log Explorer is organized into two primary modes:

• Table — A structured, tabular view for browsing and searching individual log entries. This is the default mode and is designed for day-to-day log investigation and troubleshooting.
• Explorer — A visual exploration mode for building aggregations, charts, and dashboards directly from your log data. Use this mode for trend analysis, capacity planning, and building reusable panels.

At the top of the page, you will find the search bar, time range picker, and view toggles. The left sidebar contains the filter panel and Interesting Fields section. The main content area displays your log data in the selected view mode.

Time Range

Use the time picker in the top bar to adjust the time window for your log search. Available options include:

• Preset ranges — Last 15 minutes, Last 1 hour, Last 4 hours, Last 24 hours
• Custom range — Select a specific start and end date/time
• Cluster selector — Choose which cluster to query (e.g., us-2)

The time range applies to all views — Table, Raw, and Explorer — and automatically updates the trend graph, filter counts, and search results.

Downloading Logs

Click the download icon in the table header to export the current log results. This is useful for offline analysis, sharing with team members, or archiving log data for compliance purposes.
