Abstract
A system with an interactive user interface for users to view and interact with sanitized log data received from a plurality of hosts, such as those associated with various services of an organization. The system may receive from hosts log files and/or metadata that have been filtered by agents executing on the respective hosts to remove or anonymize any sensitive or confidential information prior to transmission to the system. In some embodiments the system does further filtering of the sanitized data. Received sanitized data is parsed, indexed, and/or otherwise processed for optimal searching, and stored in a log pipeline. The system causes display of an electronic visualization interface comprising a dynamic electronic search configured to receive an indication of various log search criteria, such as an error or trace identifier, that are used to identify matching log files meeting the provided criteria, such as log files associated with services executed on different hosts.
