Description
The query builder in the VictoriaLogs Grafana datasource plugin offers autocomplete suggestions for field values using the field_values API. This works really well for low-cardinality fields like host, level, app, namespace or any other stream field.
However, the _msg field is also available for value suggestions, which is problematic:
_msgcontains the actual log message content and is inherently high-cardinality- In real-world deployments with hundreds of applications, each producing hundreds of unique log lines, there could be millions of unique _msg values
- Requesting field_values for
_msgis slow - scanning millions of unique values, memory-intensive and pretty useless - nobody will scroll through millions of log messages to pick one.
I'd like to have exclude _msg from field value suggestions entirely. Or add it to a configurable exclude list.
