[STORY] Log Search and Filtering

[jsbattig]

Part of: #663

Part of: #EPIC_NUMBER

[Conversation Reference: "Story 2: Log Search and Filtering - As an administrator, I want to search and filter logs so that I can quickly find relevant log entries"]

Story Overview

Objective: Implement search and filtering capabilities for logs across Web UI, REST API, and MCP API, enabling administrators to quickly locate specific log entries by text, log level, and correlation ID.

User Value: Administrators can efficiently narrow down logs to find specific issues, reducing troubleshooting time from scrolling through thousands of entries to targeted searches returning relevant results.

Acceptance Criteria Summary: Text search across message/correlation ID; log level filtering; multiple filter combination; consistent filtering across all interfaces.

Acceptance Criteria

AC1: Text Search in Web UI

Scenario: Administrator searches logs by text

Given logs are displayed in the Logs tab
And a search input field is visible
When I enter a search term (e.g., "authentication failed")
And I submit the search
Then only logs containing the search term are displayed
And the search matches against message content
And the search matches against correlation ID
And the search is case-insensitive

Technical Requirements:

• Add search input field to Logs tab UI
• Implement HTMX-based search with server-side filtering
• Search across message and correlation_id fields
• Case-insensitive search using LIKE operator
• Show "No matching logs" message when search returns empty
• Preserve search term in input after submission
• Add clear search button

AC2: Log Level Filtering in Web UI

Scenario: Administrator filters logs by severity level

Given logs are displayed in the Logs tab
And a log level dropdown/checkboxes are visible
When I select a specific level (e.g., "ERROR")
Then only logs of that level are displayed
And I can select multiple levels (e.g., ERROR and WARNING)
Then logs matching any selected level are displayed

Technical Requirements:

• Add log level filter UI (dropdown or checkboxes)
• Support filtering by: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL
• Support multi-select for multiple levels
• Default: show all levels
• Visual indication of active filters
• Count of logs per level (optional enhancement)

AC3: Combined Filters

Scenario: Administrator applies multiple filters simultaneously

Given logs are displayed in the Logs tab
When I enter a search term "SSO"
And I select log level "ERROR"
Then only logs matching BOTH criteria are displayed
And removing one filter immediately updates results

Technical Requirements:

• Combine search and level filters with AND logic
• Update results immediately on filter change (HTMX)
• Clear all filters button
• URL parameters reflect current filters (shareable/bookmarkable)
• Maintain filter state on refresh

AC4: REST API Filtering

Scenario: Administrator queries logs with filters via REST API

Given I have admin authentication credentials
When I send GET /admin/api/logs?search=SSO&level=ERROR
Then I receive logs matching both criteria
And the response includes filter metadata

Technical Requirements:

• Add query parameters: search, level (comma-separated for multiple)
• Implement search across message and correlation_id
• Implement level filtering with multi-value support
• Return filter parameters in response metadata
• Document API parameters in OpenAPI spec

AC5: MCP API Filtering

Scenario: Administrator queries logs with filters via MCP API

Given I have admin authentication credentials
When I call admin_logs_query with search="SSO" and level=["ERROR"]
Then I receive logs matching both criteria
And response format matches REST API

Technical Requirements:

• Add parameters to admin_logs_query: search, level (array)
• Implement identical filtering logic as REST API
• Ensure response format parity with REST API
• Document MCP tool parameters

AC6: Correlation ID Search

Scenario: Administrator searches for specific correlation ID

Given a correlation ID from an error message
When I search for that exact correlation ID
Then all logs with that correlation ID are displayed
And I can see the full trace of related operations

Technical Requirements:

• Exact match search for correlation_id
• Highlight correlation ID matches in results
• Show all entries sharing same correlation ID
• Sort by timestamp to show operation sequence

Implementation Status

Progress Tracking:

• Core implementation complete
• Unit tests passing (X/Y tests)
• Integration tests passing (X/Y tests)
• E2E tests passing (X/Y tests)

LogAggregatorService Query Interface

def query_logs(
    self,
    page: int = 1,
    page_size: int = 50,
    search: Optional[str] = None,
    levels: Optional[List[str]] = None,
    correlation_id: Optional[str] = None,
    sort_order: str = "desc"
) -> LogQueryResult:
    """Query logs with search and filtering."""

SQL Query Construction

SELECT * FROM logs
WHERE 1=1
  AND (message LIKE '%search%' OR correlation_id LIKE '%search%')  -- if search provided
  AND level IN ('ERROR', 'WARNING')  -- if levels provided
ORDER BY timestamp DESC
LIMIT page_size OFFSET (page - 1) * page_size

REST API Query Parameters

GET /admin/api/logs?page=1&page_size=50&search=SSO&level=ERROR,WARNING&sort=desc

Response Format (With Filters)

{
  "logs": [...],
  "pagination": {...},
  "filters": {
    "search": "SSO",
    "levels": ["ERROR", "WARNING"],
    "correlation_id": null
  }
}

Testing Requirements

Unit Test Coverage

• LogAggregatorService search returns matching logs
• LogAggregatorService search is case-insensitive
• LogAggregatorService level filter works for single level
• LogAggregatorService level filter works for multiple levels
• Combined search and level filter uses AND logic
• Empty search returns all logs
• No matching results returns empty array

Integration Test Coverage

• REST API search parameter filters correctly
• REST API level parameter filters correctly
• REST API combined parameters work together
• MCP API filters match REST API behavior
• Web UI filter submission updates table

E2E Test Coverage

• Enter search term in UI, verify filtered results
• Select log level in UI, verify filtered results
• Combine search and level, verify AND logic
• Query REST API with search param
• Query REST API with level param
• Query MCP API with filters

Performance Requirements

Response Time Targets

• Search query: <2 seconds for typical search terms
• Level filter: <1 second
• Combined filters: <2 seconds

Resource Requirements

• Memory: No additional beyond Story 1
• Storage: SQLite indexes support efficient filtering
• Network: Filtered responses smaller than unfiltered

Error Handling Specifications

User-Friendly Error Messages

"No logs match your search criteria. Try adjusting your filters."
"Invalid log level specified. Valid levels: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL."
"Search term too short. Please enter at least 2 characters."

Recovery Guidance

• No results: Suggest broadening search or removing filters
• Invalid level: Show valid level options
• Search timeout: Suggest more specific search term

Code Review - REJECTED

Review Date: 2026-01-02
Reviewer: Claude Code (Automated Code Review)

VERDICT: REJECT - Critical Issues Found

While the implementation demonstrates solid technical execution with comprehensive test coverage (100 tests across 4 layers), there are critical blocking issues that prevent approval.

---

CRITICAL ISSUES (Must Fix Before Approval)

1. Implementation Not Committed to Git (BLOCKER)

Location: All Story #665 files
Issue: Implementation exists as uncommitted changes, not in git history
Impact: Code not versioned, cannot be reviewed properly in PR
Remediation: Commit all Story #665 implementation with proper commit message referencing issue #665

2. Package Structure Incomplete (BLOCKER)

Location: New directories missing __init__.py files
Issue:

• src/code_indexer/server/routes/ missing __init__.py
• tests/server/log_storage/ missing __init__.py

Evidence: Import errors prevent tests from running
Impact: CI/CD will fail, tests cannot execute
Remediation:

touch src/code_indexer/server/routes/__init__.py
touch tests/server/log_storage/__init__.py
pip install -e .

3. Test Execution Failure (BLOCKER)

Issue: All 100 tests fail to execute due to import errors
Impact: Cannot verify tests pass, no test coverage validation possible
Remediation: Fix package structure, verify all tests pass

4. Manual Testing Evidence Missing (HIGH)

Issue: No evidence of manual E2E testing execution
Impact: Cannot verify real-world functionality works
Remediation: Execute manual testing per mandatory-workflow.md Step 4, provide evidence

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA VERIFICATION

AC	Description	Implementation Status
AC1	Text Search in Web UI	✓ IMPLEMENTED
AC2	Log Level Filtering in Web UI	✓ IMPLEMENTED
AC3	Combined Filters	✓ IMPLEMENTED
AC4	REST API Filtering	✓ IMPLEMENTED
AC5	MCP API Filtering	✓ IMPLEMENTED
AC6	Correlation ID Search	✓ IMPLEMENTED

All 6 ACs technically implemented - however, implementation not in reviewable/testable state.

TEST COVERAGE

Total: 100 tests across 4 layers

• Backend (LogAggregatorService): 36 tests
• REST API (/admin/api/logs): 27 tests
• MCP API (admin_logs_query): 24 tests
• Web UI (logs page): 13 tests

Status: Tests written but cannot execute due to package structure issues

---

POSITIVE OBSERVATIONS

1. Comprehensive test coverage - 100 tests covering all layers
2. Well-structured implementation - Clean separation of concerns
3. Consistent filtering logic - Same behavior across REST/MCP/Web UI
4. Good code quality - Proper docstrings, type hints, error handling
5. Feature complete - All ACs implemented

---

REMEDIATION CHECKLIST

MUST FIX (Blocking):

• Create src/code_indexer/server/routes/__init__.py
• Create tests/server/log_storage/__init__.py
• Install package: pip install -e .
• Verify all 100 tests pass
• Commit all Story [STORY] Log Search and Filtering #665 changes to git
• Execute manual E2E testing and document results

SHOULD FIX (High Priority):

• Document TDD methodology compliance
• Address logger filter TODO (line 1751 in routes.py)
• Standardize pagination field naming (total vs total_count)

---

CONCLUSION

The implementation quality is excellent - comprehensive tests, clean architecture, proper error handling. However, critical process violations prevent approval:

1. Code not committed
2. Package structure incomplete
3. Tests cannot run
4. No manual testing evidence

Estimated Fix Time: 30-60 minutes

Once package structure is fixed and tests pass, this will be ready for approval. The code quality is production-ready - only process issues remain.

---

Next Steps: Fix package structure → verify tests pass → commit to git → execute manual testing → re-request review
