Hi,

is there any way to collapse / hide stack traces in the "Observability - Logs - Stream" view?

Large stack traces make scrolling quite unpleasant and usability really suffers (even when using small text and having a large screen).

See screenshot:

Hi @Matthias_W,

thanks for sharing your request. This sounds similar to [[Logs UI] Ability to collapse multiline messages · Issue #41939 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/41939). If you want to add details for your use-case in the issue it could help us scope and prioritize the feature accordingly.
