After clicking trace log, the page to jump to is empty. This is an error.  
(link [http://192.168.10.145:5601/app/logs/link-to/logs?time=1597469807703&filter=trace.id:"4e41234389a5a38eb16827a5ad9eaeb6"%20OR%204e41234389a5a38eb16827a5ad9eaeb6](http://192.168.10.145:5601/app/logs/link-to/logs?time=1597469807703&filter=trace.id:%224e41234389a5a38eb16827a5ad9eaeb6%22%20OR%204e41234389a5a38eb16827a5ad9eaeb6))

I set log indexes to apm-7.8.1-transaction - \*, and the data exists.

Hi @wajika,

this is a bug that is being tracked in [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/74916](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/74916). The background is that the link is misinterpreted such that (as you noticed) the normal settings (called `default`) are not loaded. Instead a separate set of settings (called `logs`) is used. Until the bugfix is shipped in a release you could work around this by updating the second set of settings after navigating via the link from APM to the Logs UI to match the `default` settings.

Thank you for reporting it and sorry for the inconvenience. 🙈
