# Simple Guide to Viewing Logs in Kibana
|
|
|
|
## First Time Setup
|
|
Run this once after installing LogServer:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./setup-kibana.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Viewing Logs - The Easy Way
|
|
|
|
### 1. Open Kibana
|
|
Go to: `http://<your-server>:5601`
|
|
|
|
### 2. Login
|
|
Use the username and password from your service.env
|
|
|
|
### 3. Click "Discover"
|
|
It's in the left menu (looks like a compass icon)
|
|
|
|
### 4. You're Done!
|
|
Your logs are now visible. That's it!
|
|
|
|
## Simple Controls
|
|
|
|
### See Recent Logs Only
|
|
- Top-right corner: Click the time picker
|
|
- Choose "Last 15 minutes" or "Last 1 hour"
|
|
|
|
### Filter by Container
|
|
- Find any log entry
|
|
- Next to `container_name`: click the `+` button
|
|
- Now you only see logs from that container
|
|
|
|
### Filter by Server
|
|
- Next to `host.name`: click the `+` button
|
|
- Now you only see logs from that host
|
|
|
|
### Search for Text
|
|
- Top search bar: Type any word
|
|
- Press Enter
|
|
- Shows only logs containing that word
|
|
|
|
### Live Updates
|
|
- Top-right: Click "Refresh"
|
|
- Choose "Every 5 seconds"
|
|
- Logs update automatically
|
|
|
|
### Remove Filters
|
|
- Look for filter pills under the search bar
|
|
- Click the `x` on any filter to remove it
|
|
|
|
## Common Searches
|
|
|
|
**Show errors only:**
|
|
```
|
|
error OR ERROR OR Error
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Show warnings and errors:**
|
|
```
|
|
error OR ERROR OR warn OR WARN
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Show specific container:**
|
|
```
|
|
container_name: "myapp"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Show multiple containers:**
|
|
```
|
|
container_name: ("app1" OR "app2")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tips
|
|
|
|
1. **Too many columns?** Click "container_name" and "message" in the left sidebar to show just those
|
|
|
|
2. **Want raw logs?** Click the ">" arrow next to any log entry to expand it
|
|
|
|
3. **Export logs?** Click "Share" → "CSV Reports" → "Generate CSV"
|
|
|
|
4. **Time zone wrong?** Click your profile icon → "Advanced Settings" → search "timezone"
|
|
|
|
That's all you need to know! Kibana has many advanced features, but for basic log viewing and searching, these commands are sufficient. |
