Users will be able to view the most recent incoming log data and navigate to logs explorer.

@weltenwort would there be an embeddable available to use in this page?

[weltenwort]

The log stream embeddable provided by the Logs UI would be available, but it doesn't offer the same usability as the data grid suggested in the mock-up. We hope that we'd be able to offer a similar embeddable based on the Discover-based Log Explorer at some point, but it's not on the near-term roadmap yet.

Can you specify what the requirements for this embeddable would be in terms the visual appearance and data loading behavior?

I think it's just to see / confirm the new incoming logs during onboarding, before users navigate to the logs page. @isaclfreire might be better to answer this.

[weltenwort]

In yesterday's sync there was a discussion about potentially showing the Log Explorer directly with an option to navigate back instead of embedding something. I've captured the requirement in our project board. Maybe that's a viable alternative?

[isaclfreire]

Showing the Log Explorer would work for me. I'd just ensure to provide the user a (temporary) success message so to make sure they understood what happened. Here's an example:

[grabowskit]

Would it be possible to filter on the agent name or id that was just installed? So we can only see the messages in the Logs UI from that agent?

[weltenwort]

@grabowskit yes, that sounds like a good idea

So the set of parameters for that locator would be something like:

• integration and data stream to select the property entry in the data stream picker
• agent id to filter the documents by
• a url or callback that navigates back to previous step of the wizard?

Based on that the Log Explorer would...

• select the corresponding data stream
• add a filter for the agent id
• display a message like the one @isaclfreire with a button that brings the user back to the previous step

Or would the navigation to the previous step make the whole thing too complicated? It's definitely extra effort to re-hydrate the state management of the on-boarding wizard.

IIRC we discussed to not maintain state on the onboarding flow for the MVP but @grabowskit could confirm.

[weltenwort]

Got it, thanks. If there's no way to return to the wizard, maybe a link back to the "edit" page of the integration would be the next best approach?

[isaclfreire]

we could relate this to the idea you mentioned yesterday (about having integration info inside logs explorer)

[weltenwort]

Indeed, that could be handled by the same component. 👍 Or a similar component in the same location.

[gbamparop]

Closing this issue as it's no longer relevant. @weltenwort is there an issue we can track for the locator?

[weltenwort]

@gbamparop yes, I created #158382. Please chime in if you can think of any additional parameters that the on-boarding workflow would like to pass to the log explorer.
