Grep search for logs

Grep search performs exact pattern matching on your log lines, for precise search results. It is both the slowest and most accurate search type.

Search with grep

To search using grep, enclose the pattern within double quotes, (“…​”).

Supported data types

Grep search supports all data types, and treats them as String data type; see Search data types.

Supported operators

Grep search does not use operators.

  • Grep search is case-insensitive.

  • Grep does not support search with wildcards.

Supported set combinations

AND

Grep search supports intersection by using spaces to find logs that match all patterns.

OR

Grep search supports the union operator inside quotes to find logs that match any of the specified patterns.

NOT

Prefix a pattern with [!] (exclamation mark, not) to exclude logs that contain a match.
