How do I keep my log level field from wrapping?

[Robert_DiFalco]

How do I prevent Kibana from wrapping the level field? I am using filebeat to post data. I'm assuming the only way is to make the field name longer? Really?

Basically you can't, only if you change the field name to something longer, and even this way it could wrap depending on the other fields.

This is an old know issue that will only be solved when the Discovery UI is rewritten according to this other issue, but there is no timeframe for the completion.

So message and timestamp fields are "special" in that they are hardcoded to wrap using different logic than columns I introduce like log level?

Correct. For instance timestamp has a CSS class added called eui-textNoWrap which prevents that field from wrapping.

white-space: nowrap !important;
