Search a specific message in logs
This article describes the necessary steps to search and filter particular messages in selected logs.
You can search through logs via three different ways:
Dashboard
The simplest and most convenient way to find the latest logs of a particular service. The Dashboard already contains commonly used fast filters to narrow the search.
Discover
A more sophisticated and customizable way. Here, you can refine your search and find the BEP logs, as well as the records from other services. You can create filters on-the-fly. The search field supports Kibana Query Language (KQL).
Logs UI
Useful for reading logs in the realtime. Logs UI provides the stream of logs and the alternative temporal navigation for logs. The search field supports Kibana Query Language (KQL).

Dashboard
To search a message via Workfusion Dashboard:
Open the Kibana Dashboard page.
Open [WorkFusion IA Cloud] Application Logs dashboard.
In the Search field, enter a message to search, for example,
"automl-gateway-service"and then click Refresh.For more details on search queries, see Kibana queries and filters.
After you find the required log, expand it to view the details.
To view the context of the log, click View surrounding documents.
To view the whole logfile, not just a message in it, clear the message box, specify Hostname, Service name, and Log name that are shown in the details of the log, and then click Apply changes.
To change the filtering time range, open the Time-range menu, and choose the time interval for logs filter.
Discover
To search a log message via Discover:
In the main menu, click Discover.
Select the filebeat-* index of all running services. You can use the index if the above Dashboard doesn't have the necessary functionality.
Configure the fields to be displayed in the log table. For that, in the Available fields group, point to a required field, and click the table icon to select it.
We recommend to add the following fields:
levelmessageservice_namein case you want to browse logs for several services.
If needed, apply the required filter to narrow the results.
When searching BEP logs, you can filter the worker logs by the app-name field, for example, Control Tower or AutoML.
Logs UI
To search a log message in Logs UI:
In the main menu, click Logs UI. The logs' stream appears.
In the Search field, specify your query. Here, you can use the Kibana Query Language for search and results' refinement.
