Parse Grafana logs as JSON for easier searching

  • I currently search the each query result like it’s one long string (which I think it is by default?)
  • It would be way nicer to first parse it as an object/json so that I can break big single queries into smaller, simpler string/regex matches by the individual fields I care about
    • This is one advantage of Google Cloud logs (field parsing is automatic, so filtering is by field works as expected right away)
  • Just trying | json hasn’t worked well at work
  • Why not?
    • Ask guild-observability (show them what happens if I try + what I’ve googled)
