Searching in a log group no longer shows hyperlink to go to log stream

0

I have a lambda function that logs to a log group. On AWS console when I wanted to search for a string in my log group I would go to "Search all log streams" and then enter my string (usually restricting the date to within a couple hours.) When it returned a match it would have a blue hyperlink on the right side that would take me to the exact occurrence and log stream where this string was. This was very useful because there was surrounding information I print before and after the string to help debug problems.

But now this link is not longer showing. It just shows me a list of all matches without the option to see which log streams these matches occurred in. Anyone know how I can get that link back? Is there a limit to the number of log streams I can have before it goes away? I must have thousands of log streams... not sure if pruning down is best practice...

when i search for key word "hemorrhage" it shows the matched strings but usually there is a blue link on the right that I can click that takes me to the log stream where the string was printe

Hello.

The screen you are viewing is a screen within the log stream.
In other words, I don't think a link is necessary because the search is performed within the target log stream.

I believe what you have seen in the past are logs queried with CloudWatch Logs Insights.
For logs queried using this feature, there is a link to the target stream.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/logs/AnalyzingLogData.html

You can check the link to the target log stream by querying as below.
