Sentry shipped a batch of updates to its Logs product covering the summer. Key additions include log pinning with shareable URL state, a revamped export dialog supporting JSONL format and aggregate-aware exports, and terabyte-scale search with longer query timeouts and rate limit handling. Usability improvements include filters in the trace view Logs tab, better search term highlighting, inline error display in the logs table, multi-value filter chips, and fixed drag-to-zoom browser history behavior. Chart enhancements add expand/contract controls, better Y-axis scaling, and an expanded color palette for grouped series. The same export capability is now available across Errors and Tracing.

Questions this post answers

Does Sentry Logs support exporting in JSONL format?

Yes, Sentry Logs now supports JSONL as an export format, available through a dedicated export dialog where you choose row count and format upfront. JSONL is specifically designed for larger exports. Exports include full attribute data for each log row, not just what is visible in the table, and are aggregate-aware — exporting while viewing a grouped aggregate returns those aggregates rather than raw underlying logs. Teams evaluating Sentry for large-scale log pipelines track capability updates like this on daily.dev.

How does Sentry Logs handle search at terabyte scale?

Sentry Logs supports terabyte-scale search through frontend and backend work including longer query timeouts with continuations and improved rate limit handling. When a throughput limit is hit, the UI now explicitly tells you that you are being rate limited rather than showing a generic error, and provides a retry button so you do not need to refresh the entire page. Engineers running high-volume log infrastructure keep up with Sentry scaling changes on daily.dev.
