Logz.io announced the launch of Explore, a faster, more intuitive and responsive user interface (UI) for the Logz.io Open 360™ observability platform.
Explore vastly improves the ability of users to access, query and visualize their logs, addressing a critical area of observability that has lacked innovation in recent years.
Explore has become the default log management interface for Logz.io, replacing the previous version based on OpenSearch Dashboards (OSD). A significant upgrade over the OSD-based interface, Explore allows users to effortlessly navigate and analyze logs to swiftly resolve issues and improve troubleshooting efficiency. The enhanced capabilities in Explore, developed in response to market feedback reflecting pervasive challenges, are intended to provide the best possible user experience for log management users.
Explore is four to five times faster than OSD ... And the new ease-of-use features, including intelligent automation and GenAI, make it simple for even less-technical users to interact with logs and get answers to questions.
"Let's face it, log management hasn't evolved much in recent years, and the old approaches based on Kibana or OSD simply cannot fully support modern use cases," said Asaf Yigal, CTO and co-founder of Logz.io. "So we used customer feedback to build a completely new and updated log management experience. Explore is four to five times faster than OSD, reducing manual time and effort spent managing logs and helps Open 360 customers troubleshoot faster. And the new ease-of-use features, including intelligent automation and GenAI, make it simple for even less-technical users to interact with logs and get answers to questions."
Capabilities of Explore enhance user experience and time-to-value, including:
- Speed: Explore is significantly faster than the previous OSD-based interface. In fact, loading time with an empty cache is 4-5x faster with Explore compared to OSD. This increase in speed reduces manual time and effort spent managing logs and helps Open 360 customers troubleshoot faster, especially during production incidents when every second matters.
- Simplicity: With Explore, users see everything in a single, centralized view with two sections—what can be searched, and the results of what they search for. Gone are the complicated OSD menus and submenus that would make it difficult for customers to access data and find the right logging info to troubleshoot and investigate system health. The improved user experience delivered by Explore allows users with limited technical expertise to access and understand their logging environment.
- Intelligent auto-complete: Explore includes Auto Query, a new intelligent auto-complete feature to help users build queries faster. It also includes Quick Filters with predefined fields that enable users to quickly drill down into the most common fields.
- AI integration: Additionally, the Explore interface has added the power of Logz.io's new Observability IQ Assistant, the AI-driven copilot that automatically answers user's queries about their data.
- Enhanced investigative tools: For those who want detailed views, Explore lets users drill into their logs, uncovering new insights informed by contextual data.
- Other UX upgrades: Explore features an improved table with resizable columns, so users can take quick actions directly from the table without losing context. Explore's enhanced graphing capabilities enables users to group by a field and quickly visualize stacked or line charts. In addition, users can now create and manage alerts in one place.
