Hi! Yes, this is possible currently.
In the very top navigation bar, on the left, you should see a workspace name selected - by default, it's "Personal".
On the Events screen, click the green tick mark next to
service.nameon a log event, and choose "Show as column". Do the same forservice.instance.id.This will create a signal in the right-hand-side signal bar. Give the signal a name like "OTel Columns" and save it.
Drop down the workspace selector shown in that screenshot earlier and click the edit (pencil) icon.
In there, you'll see "Default signals" - add your "OTel Columns" signal to the list, and save it. 🙌
