Hello everyone !

I have a 3 node cluster (1 with kibana/elasticsearch and 2 with logstash/elasticsearch). On the client side I use Filebeat to send logs.

I have ugraded from 8.11 to 8.14.1 and my dashboards no longer display the logs and I don't know why.

If I go to the section Observability then Logs -\> Stream, I can see all my incoming logs.

But if I go to the section Analytics -\> Dashboards, my dashboards don't show my logs (Panel Log stream).

Does anyone have the same problem ?  
Thanks in advance,

Have you tried editing the dashboard and opening the Log Stream panel to see if you can open that saved search in Discover without issues?

Also, any errors in the Browser Console?

Thanks for replying !

On my dashboard, I don't have this option :

I have some errors in my browser Console (I use firefox) but I have exactly the same errors when I go to Observability -\> Logs -\> Stream

You may need to copy that saved search to a different dashboard if you can't edit that one.

I've found this issue that seems related to yours and it is still being triaged

> Ever since the update to 8.14.0, data views and therefore most dashboards have been broken for some indexes. I have checked the backing indexes and they seem fine. In Discover, search takes forever and does not render any fields. In Dashboards and Visualizations, there are error messages stating that the term could not be found and nothing is displayed in the visualization. I have tried recreating the data view for logs-\*, but this did not fix the issue.

I can edit my dashboard but I can't open the saved search in Discover, i choose the "Log Stream' in this panel (bullet point 1)  
I don't know if I can use "custom visualization" (bullet point 2) to create a log stream

Oh, I see. I'm sorry. I confused the dedicated Log Stream panel with the classic Discover Saved Search. I suggest creating a saved search and using that in your dashboard.

Log Stream dashboard embeddable seams that will be deprecated in 9.x

> <https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/184992>
>
> The log stream app and embeddable are planned to be removed in a future release …(probably 9.0)
> 
> To reflect this, the following tasks need to be performed:
> \* Add a banner to the top of the log stream app explaining the deprecation
> \* Link to Logs explorer
> \* Explain that we are working on a new experience for exploring logs which is recommended and it's not recommended anymore to use Logs stream
> \* In the "Add panel" dropdown menu, mark "Log stream" as deprecated
> \* Add a banner to the top of the documentation pages regarding logs stream under https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/observability/current/monitor-logs.html , explaining the same things
> \* The "Logs" menu entry in the main sidenav should link to Logs Explorer instead of Logs Stream. There should be a "beta" label next to the menu entry to reflect the beta status of Logs Explorer.

I've opened a new issue for this, since I could reproduce the issue on my end as well. Please feel free to chime in and provide any additional feedback you see fit.

The issue with LogStream will be fixed in 8.15 with this PR

> <https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/184505>
>
> \## Summary
> 
> Fixes https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/184450.
> 
> Rather t…han trying to interfere with the \`CoreProviders\` used by the Metrics and Logs apps (which work as expected when using a page template etc) this just introduces a \`LogStreamEmbeddableProviders\` for the embeddable. \`useLinkProps\` should facilitate the intended functionality from the wrapper anyway. 
> 
> The embeddable will be deprecated soon, so this should be a suitable solution.
> 
> \## Review notes
> 
> \- The embeddable should render correctly in dashboard (with panel resizing) and solution contexts, e.g:

Ohhh thanks good news !!

I will try to create a saved search and use it in my dashboard instead (if that will be deprecated in a future release)
