    • A: Patterns must be enabled in Loki config (volume_enabled: true), only available for the last 3 hours (although persistent patterns is coming in future Loki versions)
  • Q: How do patterns work? Why can I not filter patterns by level?
    • A: Patterns are only calculated for each combination of stream selectors, metadata and fields filters do not currently
  • Q: User permissions, can users view Drilldown but not Explore?
  • Q: Why am I not seeing level colors?
    • A: discover_log_levels: true must be set in Loki config.

What other questions do we commonly get?

Also maybe take this as an opportunity to get rid of the intercept banner for new users and roll that content in this new section, unless we opt to link to a docs page?
