[Feature Request] Dashboard-plugin to view logs

Open SebastianThorn opened this issue 11 months ago • 6 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. OpenSearch does not have a simple way to view logs, it's often a hassle to check logs.

  • Columns don't get saved Every time a developer would like to search for logs the columns will reset for even horizontal distribution. The column needed are often the same over a variety of applications

  • The search patterns don't have an easy "drop-down" or search-function A built-in search or select would make this easier.

  • Much space is wasted on not showing logs The fields on the left should have a "drawer" or an easy way to hide. Use the entire width of browser for logs. Same goes for the graph, it should have a "hide" button.

I made an image to visualize some of what i'm trying to describe. dashboard mockup

Describe the solution you'd like More like what Graylog has, it's simple and clear. Log View Widget graylog example

Describe alternatives you've considered Modifying the current plugin. Creating a new plugin for this usecase.

Additional context I made a post on the forums some time ago, I did not get any response so I thought I try here. https://forum.opensearch.org/t/view-logs-like-in-graylog/16877

This issue might also be somewhat releated: https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards/issues/5524
