Timeline & Visualization

LogPeak’s timeline visualization helps you understand log patterns over time.

Timeline Chart

The timeline chart appears above the log table and shows log volume over time as a bar chart. It gives you an instant overview of when activity spikes or drops.

Brush Selection

Click and drag on the timeline to select a time range. The log table filters to show only entries within that range.

• Drag to select — Draw a selection on the timeline
• Drag the selection — Move the selected range left or right
• Resize the selection — Drag the edges to expand or narrow
• Click outside — Clear the selection and show all entries

This is useful for zooming into incidents, deployments, or error spikes.

Reading the Timeline

• Tall bars indicate periods with high log volume
• Gaps show periods with no logged activity
• Color reflects the predominant log level in each time bucket

Combined with the search bar, you can filter by query and then visually identify when matching events occurred.

Multi-Window Analysis

LogPeak supports multiple windows sharing the same log data. Open a second window to compare different time ranges or queries side by side:

1. Right-click in the log view or use the application menu
2. Select Duplicate Window
3. Apply different filters or time ranges in each window
