= Installing the logging UI plugin by using the CLI

Install the logging UI plugin by using the command-line interface (CLI) so that you can visualize logs.

.Prerequisites
* You have administrator permissions.
* You installed the {oc-first}.
* You installed and configured {loki-op}.

.Procedure
. Install the {coo-full}. For more information, see link:https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/latest/html/cluster_observability_operator/installing-cluster-observability-operators[Installing the Cluster Observability Operator].

. Create a `UIPlugin` custom resource (CR):

----
<1> Set `name` to `logging`.
<2> Set `type` to `Logging`.
<3> The `name` value must match the name of your LokiStack instance. If you did not install LokiStack in the `openshift-logging` namespace, set the LokiStack namespace under the `lokiStack` configuration.
<4> `schema` is one of `otel`, `viaq`, or `select`. The default is `viaq` if no value is specified. When you choose `select`, you can select the mode in the UI when you run a query.
+
[NOTE]
====
These are the known issues for the logging UI plugin - for more information, see link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OU-587[OU-587].

* The `schema` feature is only supported in {product-title} 4.15 and later. In earlier versions of {product-title}, the logging UI plugin will only use the `viaq` attribute, ignoring any other values that might be set.
* Non-administrator users cannot query logs using the `otel` attribute with {logging} {for} versions 5.8 to 6.2. This issue will be fixed in a future {logging} release. (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/LOG-6589[LOG-6589])
* In {logging} {for} version 5.9, the `severity_text` Otel attribute is not set.
====

. Apply the `UIPlugin` CR object by running the following command:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc apply -f <filename>.yaml
----

.Verification

. Access the {product-title} web console, and refresh the page if a pop-up message instructs you to do so.
. Navigate to the *Observe → Logs* panel, where you can run LogQL queries. You can also query logs for individual pods from the *Aggregated Logs* tab of a specific pod.
