Use the log distribution chart to spot trends in your logging.

Log distribution chart showing error, info, and warning log messages.

The chart displays how your queried data has been distributed over the configured timeframe. The log distribution chart is redrawn every time you make a new query without impacting your original query or consuming the query license. It shows a sampling of all data available within the selected timeframe, so should only be used to spot trends–and not for detailed analysis.

You can choose a specific area in the chart for closer inspection. Note how your query timeframe changes based on the area you chose. Use buttons or keyboard shortcuts to investigate the chart.
