Selecting fields for log panel

Grafana Dashboards
1

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using? 12.3.2 on Linux

  • What are you trying to achieve?
    Add structured metadata fields to the log lines in the log panel

  • How are you trying to achieve it?
    In the Explore page, you can select which labels and fields you want to be displayed. Then you can copy the resulting panel to a dashboard.

    How can I edit the field selection once the panel is in a dashboard? I see them in the JSON model but I don’t see any way to edit them.

    I am aware of the line_format function and have also used that successfully. Should I stick with that? The field selection way nicely aligns things in columns though, which the line_format does not.
