Logs query autocomplete is now generally available to all customers. It suggests fields, operators, severity values, and join operators as you build a query, so you can select from a list instead of remembering the syntax.
Select the query bar and a dropdown opens with two groups:
- Fields are available on every log line: severity, hostname, group, and message.
- Attributes are the keys AppSignal finds in your own JSON log lines, such as
code.file.pathordata.args.
Select a field, then an operator, and then a value. The operators are is, is not, contains, and does not contain. For severity queries, AppSignal also suggests values such as error, warning, and info.
You can still type or paste a full query. AppSignal keeps the query as editable text while you build it.
The same autocomplete is now available in the query fields for log triggers and log metrics. In the metrics form, suggestions also include fields available for metric extraction and grouping.
Try it the next time you filter your logs, create a log trigger, or define a log metric, and tell us how it goes on our Discord server. Read the query syntax documentation for the syntax behind the editor.
