Search spans and log lines by any field — and land on the request behind them.
Logs share the same attributes as traces, so a customer id, a route or an order number finds everything that touched it. Lines written during a request link straight to that request.

What you get
Logs & search, in detail
Logs
Search what your services logged. Lines written during a request link to that request.
Search everything
Find spans or log lines by any field or attribute — a customer id, a route, a status. Click any value in a result to filter by it. Volume bars show when.
Correlated activity
Spans and logs in one newest-first timeline for a cluster, namespace or workload, each row expanding to the full record and request waterfall.
Scrubbed on the way in
Tokens, secrets, e-mail addresses and card-like numbers are removed before storage.
Ingest pipeline
Standard OTLP in. Logs, traces and metrics use the same ingest key and the same per-tenant isolation.
How it works
From zero to data in three steps
Export
Send logs over OTLP from the OpenTelemetry SDK or a Collector — or use the Kubernetes agent.
Correlate
trace_id and span_id tie each line to its request; resource attributes tie it to a pod or service.
Retain
Retention follows your plan: 7 days on Starter, 30 days for traces and logs on Team.

Honest about where we are today
Comparable to
Where Owlpane is narrower
- Log analytics is search-first; there is no separate query language or log-to-metric rule engine yet.
- Prometheus-compatible reads are supported for metrics, not a full LogQL clone.

Standard OpenTelemetry in, so you can send a copy and compare. Nothing proprietary to migrate away from later.
