Log Walker QuickStart

Log Walker can help you Analysis any of your log data in an interactive visualization interface.

It is currently in beta testing in the Vercel community. Welcome to have a try.

After completing the integration, it will redirect back to the Vercel page. You can directly click the Configure button to start analyzing immediately.

First, select and enable the log source you want to analyze.

• The free plan only allows one log source to be enabled. User logs during disabled periods will not be synced to Kanaries.

Enter the project enabled, there will be a default dashboard template for analysis. On the top of the page, there is a switch tab, which you can switch between dashboard and chart(customize visual exploration)

• Please wait 3-5 minutes after enabling for logs to start reporting.

For each chart in the dashboard, there is an edit button on the right top of the chart. It allows users to explore the dataset by themself: adding new dimensions, filters, drilling down, adding metrics, etc. That’s a different feature between log walker and other analysis tools, it is not a static dashboard, but an interactive visual exploration tool that can analysis a dataset with dynamic / unknown schema.
