Query & Filter

Log Search

Search and filter your log history with SQL-powered queries. Search by level, environment, metadata fields, or full-text search across your entire log archive.

Quick Search

The search bar in your dashboard supports multiple query types. Start typing to search across all your logs in real-time with sub-second latency.

Full-Text

"Search for any text in log messages. Case-insensitive by default."

payment failed

Field Filters

"Filter by specific metadata fields using key:value syntax."

userId:user_123

Level Filters

"Focus on errors, warnings, or specific severity levels."

level:error

Advanced Query Syntax

LuminaLog supports powerful query syntax with boolean operators, field filters, and metadata search. Queries are converted to optimized Athena SQL at the edge.

Operator	Example	Description
Text Search	payment failed	Search for text in log messages
Field Filter	level:error	Filter by specific field value
Metadata Search	userId:user_123	Search metadata fields
AND / OR	error AND payment	Combine multiple search terms
NOT	error NOT timeout	Exclude logs containing term
Group / Parens	(error OR warn) AND payment	Group conditions for priority
Comparison	duration:>5000	Numeric (>, <, >=, <=)
