Create and Edit Views

Views are saved shortcuts to a specific set of filters and search queries for log lines. You can also Add Alerts to Views to notify you when specific conditions are met. Mezmo provides alert integrations for several messaging and notification platforms, including Slack, PagerDuty, and DataDog, and Templates for Views, Boards, and Screens for a variety of log data types.

The first time you visit Views, you'll see the default Everything view, which shows all log lines.
