Overview

The Logs app is the fastest place to explore relevant log records without writing queries. Use intuitive facets, severity trends, and context links to traces, topology, and surrounding entities to investigate and drive preventive operations. The "Explain Logs" feature distills log records into insightful key facts, including the likely root cause, impact, and actionable steps, thereby reducing the time to resolution. Deep-links and app integrations let you easily share findings and continue analysis in Dashboards, Notebooks, Distributed Tracing, and many other Dynatrace apps.

Use cases

  • Find the logs you’re looking for. Easily filter your logs without writing DQL, and find the logs you need.
  • Proactive investigation. Uncover problems and insights by investigating log distribution chart over time.
  • Discover the root cause of issues from context. Investigate the surrounding logs of interest to understand the context and root cause of errors:
    • Find the root cause and check if a log is only a symptom of issues
    • Based on traces: show transaction details in a distributed environment
    • Based on source: analyze select record in the context of a single component
  • Expand your analysis. Quickly navigate between log details and related hosts, Kubernetes clusters, traces, or other entities. This helps you understand the impact of a single record in the context of related metrics and traces
  • Share your findings. Continue your journey with logs in Notebooks, Dashboards, Security Investigator, or automate with Workflows.

Bug fixes

  • Resolved an issue where switching from DQLEditor with an invalid query to DQLBuilder would reset the query but leave the 'Run query' button disabled, even when the query became valid (APPOBS-6975).
  • Resolved an issue with invalid query generated for Windows log files when using autofill for log source (APPOBS-8270)

Full version history

1.11.0
