Hi All,

Can any one please help on the below points ?

1. When we click on the graphical charts( line, bar, pie) it should re-direct to log file of the error. is it possible?
2. Already i have applied grok filter for my log file and separated all the fields. when seeing the log message it is big, is it possible to limit the huge log message to display 1 line or limit characters.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks  
Nikhilesh Gade

1. Most of the error messages are displayed in the kibana log file as well, although it depends on the plugin, as it's not a rule.
2. You can use the "ignore\_above" parameter in the mapping of your message field and this will limit the field length.
