How to filter by severity?

[Tinche]

Really liking gonzo so far. Super quick question: when looking at some logs from Kubernetes, how do I filter by severity? I couldn't figure out what exactly to put in the search input for it to work.

Hi @Tinche! Today when you hit the filter key "/" it will use regex to filter against the log body/message

My regex foo is not that great but you could do something like ERROR|error or case insensitive like (?i)error
This does mean that the log body needs to contain that severity - let me know if this was what you were looking for!

Hm, it doesn't seem to work for me.

Here's a sample log file:

{"created":1758291317.023425,"level":"DEBUG","message":"test message"}

If I run gonzo < pod.log, the log line shows up. If I try filtering, neither debug nor DEBUG will show the message.

I think what's going on is this is a JSON format log so Gonzo picks up the "level" as an attribute - currently the filtering works on the "message" part but is not filtering across other attributes including the "level" here....

@Tinche Let me know if you want to track an enhancement here to be able to filter on other attributes of a log message, specifically the level/severity in this case!

[Tinche]

I think that would be super useful, yes!

ok cool tracking that here if you want to add any info! #62

hi @Tinche we recently added filter by severity - you can try it by building from source and hitting "ctrl-f" from the main dashboard to bring up a modal

Sweet, looks great!
