The new infinite scroll feature of the Logs UI is fantastic! Thanks!

I'm finding that I really miss the context of my logs, though. In the Discover view I frequently add hostname or the source path as columns because I have 100s of servers sending data from a couple dozen log files each. This context (and the ability to quickly filter on these fields) is critical to making sense of my log stream. Is there a way to add these fields to the Logs UI view in the current version?

Hi @benpolzin, thank you for the feedback.

A way to dynamically configure the fields that make up the log messages is being worked on. Until then there is unfortunately no way to change it without adapting the code.
