Adding & Removing Fields

To optimize the data visualized you can select which of the result fields should be displayed or hidden.

Fields can be added/removed from both the Fields panel and the Tool panel under Search. From the Tool panel you can add formatting to the field as well.

Fields Panel

  1. Run a query as explained in Writing a New Query.

  2. In the Fields panel, click the + or - signs next to each field (see Figure 53, “Fields Panel”):

    • + adds the field to the currently displayed result.

    • - removes the field from the currently displayed result.

Note

By default, LogScale displays fields coming from 200 events at most. You can display more data by clicking Fetch more.

From the Fields panel, you can also click on a field name and get quick access to filtering options:

  • ⊜ — Match value in query

  • — Exclude value in query
