Multi line support to view full log message in kibana

Elastic Stack Kibana

Hi there,

I am new to this ELK stack. I have a problem with previewing log message in kibana. If a log message has too much characters, it is unable to view full message without expanding it. If it is large it is ended up with three dots.

I want to preview full message with multi-line support without expanding it.

Is it support in kibana? if yes how to do?

Are you sure talking about filters as screen shot?
If you are talking about document previews, that feature will be supported in near future version.

@Tomo_M Thank you for the response :slightly_smiling_face:

I wanted to preview the log message without truncation in table cell. It is needed keep expanding to view the full message. Now I found solution.

I'm using kibana version - 7.17.0

  1. Go to Management > Stack Management > Kibana > Advanced Settings.
  2. Scroll or search for the setting Maximum table cell height.
  3. Enter a new value for the setting (Set to 0 to disable truncation).

Now it is able to view full message without truncation.
