LogScale User Interface
LogScale is brought to you via a web-based user interface, and provides access to your repositories, server logs, and metrics, and is the central area for administration and control. You can set up and find repositories, configure views, filter data, and limit access based on your needs, all in one place.

Repositories and Views
Repositories are containers for your data server logs and metrics, with their own sets of users, dashboards, saved queries, and parsers. Views allow you to search across multiple repositories, can restrict your results to a specific subset of data, or limit access based on your interests and security needs.
To access your repositories and views, click the
Repositories and Views
tab on the top left
of your screen:

Figure 13. Repositories and Views
See the Repositories and Views documentation for much more information on how to create and use repositories.
Search
Once you have data coming into your repositories, you can search that data
through the LogScale Search
UI page.
Logscale's Search functionality
allows for robust, fast regex searches of server logs and metrics in your
repositories.

Figure 14. Search
See the Searching for Data page for instructions on how to search.
Dashboards
You can store often used searches in
Dashboards
, a significant component of the
LogScale user interface. They are a great way to get an overview of your
systems. Dashboards are composed of
Widgets that you create to view
server activities in the form of various graphs and tables of relevant
data.

Figure 15. Dashboards
See the Dashboards and Widgets documentation pages for more information.
Alerts, Actions and Scheduled Searches
Alerts are stored, live queries that continuously run and are triggered when user-set parameters are met or exceeded and users want to be notified, or when action must be taken. No more relying on routine checks, or worrying about not immediately detecting a problem when it occurs.
Actions are modules that can perform functions like informing administrators of a potential server problem. Alerts can also be set to trigger Actions.
Scheduled Searches are static queries, set to run on a schedule. At a scheduled interval, the query will run. If there is a result, the scheduled search will trigger its associated actions.
They are all available from the Alerts
UI
page:

Figure 16. Alerts
Go to Alerts documentation page for information on how to create and manage these items.
Parsers
When sending logs and metrics to LogScale for ingestion, they must be parsed before they are stored in a repository. This is the case for all but LogScale’s structured ingest endpoint, which stores data as-is. Parsers take text as input, and put extracted values into named fields.
You create and configure parsers through the
Parsers
UI page:

Figure 17. Parsers
See Parsers documentation for more information.
Files
Files refers to .CSV
files that are used for importing metadata, to both enrich and filter your
results in LogScale using the match()
query function.
Click the Files
tab at the top of the UI to
upload or create a new file.

Settings
From within your repository, the Settings
page enables you to configure key settings for your repository, as well as
create and manage authentication tokens for ingesting data, or managing
Packages.

Figure 19. Settings
Go to Repository Settings or View Settings for more information on what you can do from this page.
Keyboard Shortcuts
LogScale supports a number of keyboard shortcuts that make it easier to navigate around the user interface, and also make editing queries and text easier.
Among these, the Jump Panel allows jumping to any repositories or dashboards — from anywhere within the user interface, press Ctrl+O and start typing the item you want to filter:

For the full list of shortcuts you can use in LogScale, see the Keyboard Shortcuts dedicated documentation.
