Log Query Filter Management

Last updated - 04 March, 2026

After you create a log query filter, you can manage and reuse it to streamline troubleshooting, analysis, and reporting in LM Logs. A filter defines how log data is grouped, visualized, and shared across your environment.

Updating a Saved Log Query Filter

1. In LogicMonitor, navigate to the Logs page.
2. From the Views dropdown, select the saved view you want to update.
   The query of the selected view appears in the query bar.
3. Modify the query in the query bar and select Run Query.
   Ensure the query is executed successfully before saving.
4. Select Save view….
5. In the Save View modal, confirm the Name, Group Type, and Group Name.
6. Select Update.

7. To create a new view instead of updating the existing one, rename the view before saving and select Save as new view.

Duplicating a Group

You can duplicate an existing log query group to create a copy of its structure and contents. This is useful when you want to reuse a group of saved queries in a different environment, share them with another team, or create a test version without altering the original group.

2. Select More options next to the group name.

6. (Optional) Update the Group type if required.
   

7. Select Save.

The duplicated group displays in the Manage Saved Filters panel with all the saved queries, filters, and configurations from the original group.
