Live tail just got an upgrade! Find the logs you need faster with pattern‑based filtering and service discovery. 

Intuitively filter logs without digging for specific log fields. View similar log messages instantly and select individual services instead of the entire source. 

Read on to learn how to slice and dice your logs.

## View all similar logs with a single click

**Tracking down a specific error? Need to find log messages that resemble each other but aren’t identical?** Filter by pattern to view all similar log messages. Exclude any pattern to hide irrelevant logs matching the same pattern.

Filter by similar pattern in <a href="https://telemetry.betterstack.com/team/0/tail" target="_blank">Live tail</a>.

## Browse logs and dashboards for individual services

**Sending logs from a cluster or a server with multiple services?** Slice your logs by individual services instead of seeing all logs mixed together. Select services on dashboards to view relevant charts.
 
Select any discovered service in <a href="https://telemetry.betterstack.com/team/0/tail" target="_blank">Live tail</a> and in <a href="https://telemetry.betterstack.com/team/0/dashboards" target="_blank">dashboards</a>.

## Customize how we discover your services

**Not using Kubernetes? Not seeing your services?** Configure service discovery to tell us how to find your services. Choose any field in your logs and we’ll automatically add a service for each unique value.

Set up service discovery in <a href="https://telemetry.betterstack.com/team/0/sources" target="_blank">Sources</a> → **Configure** → **Advanced settings**.
