   Logs are reported to LTS once every 5 seconds. You may wait for at most 5 seconds before the logs are displayed.

   You can perform the following operations on the reported real-time logs:

   • Select Host for Source and set a host IP address and file path to filter logs.
   • Select Host for K8s and set an instance or container name or a file path to filter logs.
   • Filter: Select fields to filter field information obtained from the index configurations, structuring configurations, and latest logs.
   • Clear: Displayed logs will be cleared from the real-time view.
   • Pause: Loading of new logs to the real-time view will be paused.

     After you click Pause, the button changes to Continue. You can click Continue to resume the log loading to the real-time view.
