System Logs Data Table
The main section of the System Logs screen displays a data table listing all recorded log entries. Each row in the table represents a single log event, providing details about when and what occurred. The table includes the following columns:
- ID: A unique identifier for each log entry.
- Channel: Indicates the source or category of the log message (e.g.,
application, security, database).
- Level: Specifies the severity of the log entry (e.g.,
INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL).
- Message: The detailed description of the event that was logged.
- Context: Additional contextual data related to the log message, often in JSON format.
- Formatted: A pre-formatted version of the log message, potentially including context for easier readability.
- Remote: Indicates if the log message originated from a remote process or system.
- User: The user associated with the action that triggered the log entry, if applicable.
- Created At: The timestamp when the log entry was recorded.
Searching and Filtering Logs 🔍
The bulk bar above the data table provides functionalities to efficiently locate specific log entries:
- Search: Use the Search field to filter log entries by keywords present in any of the displayed columns. Enter your search term and the table will dynamically update to show matching results.
