Hi,
I’m trying to replace kibana by grafana for exploring logs that are stored in Elasticsearch (Opensearch actually).
In Explore tab I’m able to go through logs quite easily it works nicely. But I won’t to create dashboard which will be used by some “not so skilled users” and here I have found a problem, I’m unable define which fields will be visible by default in the dashboard so the output is… not very nice. Is there some posibility how to define that for a dashboard / Log panel?

Thanks

Through the Transform data feature, the following can be achieved:

  1. Add a new “Organize fields by name” operation:
  • Able to hide certain unnecessary fields
  • Can move the @message field to the first row
  1. Add a new “Labels to fields” operation:
  • Can add labels to the fields
