The Transform stage in Logs Explorer’s Builder mode lets you manipulate log data without needing to know LogQL. You can now extract, reshape, and standardize information from your logs through an intuitive interface rather than complex queries.
This functionality allows you to create consistent outputs from inconsistent log formats during query runtime, without modifying your underlying instrumentation. You can extract specific data points, create custom fields, and save these transformed views directly to Dashboard panels.
Available transform functions include:
split_into: Divide text into multiple fields based on patternssplit: Break text into arrays for easier processingreplace_regex: Use regular expressions for advanced text substitutionconcat: Combine multiple fields into a single valuejoin: Merge array elements with custom separatorsif: Apply conditional logic to your transformations
For example, you can extract method and path information from web service logs, filter for specific request types, and visualize the results—all without writing complex LogQL patterns or changing how your applications generate logs.
