LogQL query builder

Compose LogQL queries visually with Meridian's step-through builder. No hand-writing label matchers or regex filters.

Stream selector

Pick your log stream by namespace, container, or app label. The builder auto-completes valid label names from your cluster's active series.

{namespace="production", app="api-gateway"}

Log pipeline

Chain operators visually — line filter, JSON parser, label formatter. Each step previews results against a sample window so you see matches before committing.

|= "error"
| json
| line_format "{{.method}} {{.path}} → {{.status}}"

Aggregation

Switch to metric mode with a toggle. Choose rate, count-over-time, or quantile. The builder handles unwrapping and range vector syntax.

rate({app="api-gateway"} |= "5xx" [5m])

Tip: Use the Live tail panel to drag-and-drop fields directly into your query pipeline.
