Log Query Filters

Last updated - 04 March, 2026

The Log Query Library enables you to save, organize, and manage your log queries for quick access. When you run a query, you can save its filters, time range, and display preferences as a Saved View, enabling you to return to the same log context later. All saved queries are displayed in the Manage Saved Filters panel, organized by Group Type.

For more information on managing the saved queries, see Log Query Library Management in the product documentation.

The Log Query Library helps you organize and access saved queries using the following folders:

• Private folder stores all personal queries and are visible only to the logged user. The Private folder contains all your personal queries, visible only to you.
• Shared folders contain queries shared with users who have the same role or scope, making collaboration easier across your team.
• Public folders store queries accessible to all LM Logs users in your portal. These can be published by LogicMonitor or by customer admins.
• Tracked queries stores queries you have marked for tracking from your Private folder, helping you to monitor specific searches over time.
  For more information on track query management, see Logs Query Tracking in the product documentation.

These Log Query Groups act as folders or categories for related saved views. These groups help streamline access across teams, whether it is organizing by environment (for example, “Production vs. Dev”), by use case (for example, “Security Events”, “App Errors”), or by system type (for example, “Windows”, “Firewall”, “Cloud”).

Requirements for Creating a Log Query as a Saved View

To create, save, or manage log query filters, you need the following:

• Your account includes an LM Logs license.
• A valid log query using correct syntax. If your log query results in an error and does not execute, you cannot save it as a saved view.

Creating and Saving a Log Query

1. In LogicMonitor, navigate to Logs.
2. To create a log query, you can do one of the following:
   • To leverage LogPilot using the natural language query bar:
     1. Enter a natural language query.
     2. Select Get Query.
   • To enter a formal query using the Log query bar:
     1. Enter a formal query using field names and operators in the Query bar.
        For more information on using the query bar, see Writing a Log Query in the product documentation.
3. Select Run Query.
4. When the results display, select Save view.
5. In the Save View modal, enter the following:
   1. In the Name field, enter an appropriate name for the view.
   2. Select the Group Type to determine the visibility level of the saved view. You can choose among Private, Public, or Shared.
   3. Specify the Group Name, which identifies the query group where the view is stored.
   4. Select Save as new view.

The saved view appears in the Views dropdown and is filed under the tab matching the Group Type you selected in Manage Saved Filters panel.
