Search & Filtering
Search and filter logs across all your services.
SMLL provides full-text search across all your logs. Find specific errors, trace requests, or investigate incidents without leaving the browser.
Searching logs
- Navigate to the Logs tab (service or VPC level)
- Enter your search term in the search bar
- Results are displayed with matching terms highlighted
Search syntax
| Pattern | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Plain text | Match exact text | connection refused |
| Quotes | Match exact phrase | "failed to connect" |
| Service filter | Logs from specific service | Select from dropdown |
Filtering by time range
Use the time range picker to narrow your search:
- Last 15 minutes / 1 hour / 6 hours / 24 hours
- Last 7 days / 30 days
- Custom range: Pick exact start and end times
Filtering by severity
If your application uses structured logging with severity levels, you can filter by:
- INFO — Normal operations
- WARN — Potential issues
- ERROR — Failures
- DEBUG — Verbose debugging output (if your app produces it)
Tips
- Search is case-insensitive by default
- Use time range filtering to narrow large result sets
- Combine service filtering with text search for targeted results
- Jump to a specific timestamp if you know when an issue occurred
