for a while I'm looking for a way to easily send error report in CSV or any other document type but I never fined an easy way and a clean document with multiple log to retrieve the errors.
I've post this topic on github but I wonder if there is not another way to easily handle my errors logs (maybe with xpack) :

example of a log error i want to send with surrounding logs for example to debug it :
> 2018-09-11 08:42:51,442 xxx ERROR (BuildImageEnv.java:yyy:343) - Error updating repository status
Hope someone can help 🙂

Hello,
We have context view in discover right now which might help you. You can open a doc in discover and view surrounding documents. You can change the number of surrounding documents too.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Bhavya
