At the end of November, we’ll be migrating the Sematext Logs backend from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch

Logs in chart builder

July 14, 2020

We’re excited to introduce logs in Chart Builder and hope you’ll enjoy using it as much as we’ve enjoyed developing it!

This gives you new possibilities to draw charts using data from Sematext Logs. We’ve made Logs charting more powerful and easier to use. You can select counts or any numeric fields to chart data. You can also use mathematical operations and functions to apply transformations. As always you can filter, group, and roll up metrics by various criteria, as well as style them to your heart’s content.

With variables, you can now dynamically filter and group charts by tags. This makes it even easier to drill down to issues when troubleshooting!

How do you start using Chart Builder for Logs? Two ways:

1. By editing any chart in your Logs Apps 2. By adding a new component to any dashboard or any report, as shown below

Charts you create with Chart Builder will be added to your dashboards and reports as dashboard components.

Stay tuned for more updates! We’re currently developing new types of components for Logs and Metrics in Chart Builder.
