Discover the values behind log patterns with Pattern Inspector

Datadog's Log Explorer has introduced a new feature called Pattern Inspector that helps users quickly surface important details from large swaths of log data. By grouping logs by patterns, users can consolidate their logs into clusters that share commonalities in their messages, making it easier to find meaningful patterns useful for investigations. The Pattern Inspector allows users to hover over highlighted snippets of a pattern to display the distribution of actual values, enabling them to determine whether the pattern contains useful information that can guide their next steps. This feature accelerates troubleshooting investigations and security audits by revealing where problems are occurring and helping users discover and isolate issues faster, reducing mean time to resolution and improving end-users' experience.
