KQL filters can be applied to narrow results based on identifiers, fields, or specific conditions.

Behavior notes:

  • Documents ingested are updated on demand based on the selected time range and identifier filters.

  • All charts and metrics refresh dynamically when filters or time range selections change.


Documents Ingested

Displays the total number of log documents ingested within the selected time range.

This metric reflects ingestion volume based on:

  • Selected time range

  • Applied identifier filters

  • Selected regions


Storage Usage

Shows the amount of storage consumed by indexed log data.

Important details:

  • Storage usage metrics are updated every 12 hours in UTC.

  • Selecting Today or any range within the current day displays storage usage for data ingested during the current day.

  • Storage metrics are scoped by identifiers and regions.


Total Documents Indexed

Represents the cumulative number of log documents indexed in the system.

This metric reflects the overall indexed volume and is not limited to the selected time range.


Host Statistics

Provides a graphical view of log volume grouped by host.

This visualization helps:

  • Identify high volume log generating hosts

  • Detect uneven or unexpected log distribution across systems

Storage Timeline

Displays storage usage trends over time.

Includes:

  • Total storage usage

  • Peak storage usage

  • Latest storage usage

Values are shown based on the selected filters and identifiers.

Alerts Overview

Provides visibility into alert activity and alert configuration status.

Identifier Tags

Displays configured log source identifiers along with their current status.

For each identifier, the dashboard shows:

  • Identifier status (active or inactive)

  • Associated storage usage

  • Document count

This section helps track log ingestion and storage usage per identifier.
