Manage Logs > JSON search syntax

JSON search syntax

In addition to using the Google-esque search syntax to find things in your logs, Papertrail can parse a JSON object that appears at the end of a log line. Each line can contain arbitrary string data before the JSON. For example:

2019-12-02 03:04:05 DEBUG {"a":123,"b":456}

This is a beta feature and the final syntax might change. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact contact us.
