Also there are empty spaces rendered in Grafana Loki in explore view. I think they are caused by styles applied in our light theme, specifically Maybe row log message CSS could reset line-height? |

Hello @adambro and thank you for feature request. We keep all the feature request in discussion, so I am going to transfer this to discussion. Regarding your comment about spacing, I agree that spacing seems off. This seems like a UI issue, so I am going to create new issue from your comment. For future cases, it is better to keep each issue separately. |

Background / Why we're doing this
Some log evens can contain hundreds of lines, typical for Java stack traces. When we've deployed the
multiline
filter to concatenate logs lines for single exception stack trace it is displayed in full on the Logs panel inside Explore interface.Right now having such hundreds lines in log message it is impossible to quickly scan the logs to spot some unusual patterns in the explore view.
Is there existing research for this?
No research yet
Problems or tasks
Grafana could limit the number of characters from the message, or display just the first line, in the list view.
For log entry details view I'd like to see the multi-line stack trace in full. but only after clicking to see the details.
Deliverables
The
LogRowMessage
component changes I guess.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
