LogPeak auto-detects the file format and compression type during import.
How to Import
Drag and Drop
Drag one or more log files directly onto the LogPeak window. The import wizard opens automatically.
File Picker
- Click the Import button on the Welcome screen or from the menu
- Select one or more files from the file picker
- LogPeak validates and previews the data
- Click Import to load the data
Multiple Files
You can import multiple files at once. This is useful for:
- Date-split logs — e.g.,
app-2026-04-01.jsonl,app-2026-04-02.jsonl - Rotated log files — Multiple files from the same source
LogPeak merges them into a single unified view, so you can search across all files at once.
Import Progress
During import, LogPeak shows:
- Progress bar with percentage
- Number of rows processed
- Estimated time remaining
Append to Existing
You can also append new files to an already-open log view. This lets you add more data without starting a new session.
