Use the Live Tail feature

The Live Tail feature in the Logs Explorer allows you to monitor real-time logs as they are generated. The real-time monitoring provides instant visibility into system events and errors, eliminating the need to refresh or manually retrieve data.

Access the Live Tail

1. On the log explorer, click Live Tail.
   This will bring up a Logs screen displaying real-time logs.
2. On the live tail page, click +ADD FILTER to filter the incoming data by selecting the attributes you want to filter by. This allows you to narrow down the logs to those most relevant to your needs.

3. You can also stop or start the real-time logs monitoring.

If you are inactive for more than 5 minutes while using the Live Tail feature, a dialog box will appear stating that your session has expired. You will need to refresh the session to continue monitoring logs in real-time.
