Update: Log Query Time-Range in Strata Cloud Manager & Strata Logging Service App

[nsyed]

In Strata Cloud Manager > Log Viewer and Strata Logging Service > Explore, log queries now support time ranges of up to 30 days at a time.

You can now query using the following ranges:

• Past 15 Minutes
• Past 60 Minutes
• Past 10 Hours
• Past 24 Hours
• Past 7 Days
• Past 30 Days
• Custom Range (up to 30 days)

Why 30 Days?

 These limits are in place to maintain query responsiveness and system performance at scale.

 

How to Analyze Longer Periods (60/90 Days and Beyond)

 

Option 1: Use Custom Range in 30-Day Intervals + View/ Export

You can view/export more extended periods by breaking them into consecutive 30-day windows.

Example – Past 60 Days:

1. Go to Custom Range
• Start Date: 2025-07-19
• End Date: 2025-08-18
• View/Export the logs
2. Rerun the same query with:
• Start Date: 2025-06-19
• End Date: 2025-07-19
• View/Export the logs
3. Combine the two CSVs outputs if needed

Option 2: Log Forwarding for Continuous Long-Range Views

Set up log forwarding from SLS to an external system for rolling visibility beyond 30 days:

• Object Storage (AWS S3)
• SIEMs 
• Syslog Servers
