Filter / Search by Specific Criteria #

Click the magnifying glass to search by specific criteria.

You can filter by tag, ID, organization, project, stack, type, value, IP, architecture, user, and much more.

Some searches, such as ID, require a prefix (“id:”) on the search, but others, such as error.message, can be entered as strings (“A NullReferenceException occurred”).

Multiple Queries #

All queries separated by a space will be an AND operation. If you wish to OR queries you’ll need to use an OR statement. We recommend wrapping conditional statements with parentheses.

Example: Lets assume we want to return all events that have a blue or red tag. To search for these events our query would be (tag:blue OR tag:red).

Wild Cards #

Suffix your query with * for wild card searches.

Exclusions #

Prefix the field name with - for exclusions.

Example: Lets assume that we want to return all events that are not marked as a bot. To search for these events our query would be -bot:true.
*NOTE: In some cases searching with -bot:true is more accurate than searching with bot:false. This happens because the first query returns all records where bot field is not set or not equal to true. The second query returns results only where the bot field is set to false.

Set and Unset Fields #

Prefix the field name with _missing_ or _exists_.

Example: Lets assume that we want to return all events that do not contain any tags. To search for these events our query would be _missing_:tag.

Ranges #

Specify a date or numeric range as part of the term.

Date Range Example: Lets assume that we want to return all events that occurred in 2020. To search for these events our query would be date:[2020-01-01 TO 2020-12-31].

Numeric Range Example: Lets assume that we want to return all events that contain contain a value between 1 and 10. To search for these events our query would be value:(>0 AND <=10).

Custom Extended Data #

All simple data types (string, boolean, date, number) that are stored in extended data will be indexed. NOTE: Field names will be lowercased and escaped. Any field name that is not a valid identifier (containing only letter and digits) or is longer than 25 characters will be ignored.

Example: Lets assume that our events extended data contains a property called Age with a value of 18. To search for this value our query would be data.age:18.
