logs: download-logs/download-csv buttons have different behavior #53742
Comments
We should make it more clear what's the difference between both buttons @grafana/observability-logs "Download logs" downloads everything and it's not related with the selected data frames in data options. We should consider renaming the button or someting similar. Any suggestions maybe @grafana/docs-squad ? |
@matyax It's unclear whether this behavior (one button retrieving only the inspected data frame, the other retrieving all data frames) is expected. IMO either:
Otherwise, the hackiest idea I've got for differentiating the buttons' behaviors is via tooltips that provide this context, like:
vs.
But that's a kludge - it doesn't make the behavior less confusing, it just explains the confusion closer to the user than the docs. In any case we still also need to document the different behaviors and contexts for 8.5 to 9.2, and then any changes to those behaviors in 9.3 (#55163), because the current docs don't describe the expected results at all:

if you have logs-data in explore, where the data is contained in multiple dataframes (for example, Loki in grafana8.x),
and go to download the csv or the logs, you get this screen:
(the
{place="luna", source="data"}
part is the dataframe-name, and can be changed by opening theData options
section)in this case, the data is in two dataframes.
this is confusing to the user, because the visualization implies the download-logs also only gets the single dataframe.
i'm not sure what the best way to handle this problem is.
NOTE: starting with grafana9, Loki uses a single-dataframe for logs always, so it's not possible to reproduce the problem there.
