 The logging UI plugin surfaces logging data in the {product-title} web console on the *Observe* -> *Logs* page. 
 You can specify filters, queries, time ranges and refresh rates, with the results displayed as a list of collapsed logs, which can then be expanded to show more detailed information for each log.

 * This feature introduces a new architecture for {logging} {for} by shifting component responsibilities to their relevant Operators, such as for storage, visualization, and collection. It introduces the `ClusterLogForwarder.observability.openshift.io` API for log collection and forwarding. Support for the `ClusterLogging.logging.openshift.io` and `ClusterLogForwarder.logging.openshift.io` APIs, along with the Red Hat managed Elastic stack (Elasticsearch and Kibana), is removed. Users are encouraged to migrate to the Red Hat `LokiStack` for log storage. Existing managed Elasticsearch deployments can be used for a limited time. Automated migration for log collection is not provided, so administrators need to create a new ClusterLogForwarder.observability.openshift.io specification to replace their previous custom resources. Refer to the official product documentation for more details. (link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/LOG-3493[LOG-3493])
