View logs timeline

A log search can return data for a large timeframe. However, when analyzing the results, you might need to focus on a specific period. NXLog Platform provides the Logs timeline tool, which allows you to filter search results by a date range.

Follow these steps to use the Logs timeline:

  1. Depending on the type of logs you are interested in, navigate to:

    • Logs > Audit.

    • Logs > System.

  2. Perform the log search.

  3. Click the ^ button in the top right corner of the Logs timeline panel to expand it.

  4. Select the timeframe for which you want to see data. The options are the last 1h, 4h, 12h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 7d, 30d, or today.

  5. You can also click on the date picker to select a custom date range.

  6. Specify the desired start and end dates and click Apply.
