Hello,

I was wondering how come log explorer got removed or is deperecated?

I previously like that this was like quick way to see the data coming from integrations without having to deal with data views.

Also the logo next to the data source vs data views (no logo) made it look more clean and mature. Is there a reason for this going away?
