Customize Field/Column Suggestions for Log Search?

Timothy_Hall — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 14:45:05 GMT

So here is a bit of an interesting question: on the Logs & Events tab in the SmartConsole, when you click into the search field or start typing in it, Field/Column autocomplete suggestions appear below in blue and can be clicked to be inserted into your search string.

Is there any way to customize these suggestions? Maybe remove some and add some? It doesn't seem possible from what I can see. I've attached a screenshot of what I want to customize below. I realize you can construct a Favorite Query search and save it under Queries, but that's not what I'm after. I also know that you can click "Other Fields:" to access all the other fields not shown as suggestions, but can I add some of those to the visible blue suggestions?

Hi Tim,

Maybe someone else can confirm for sure, but Im failrly positive those are hard coded and cant be changed.

I did not think you can add custom field.

I am pretty sure you are 100% right. I looked everywhere, dont see that being a possibilit.

Maybe @Amir_Senn can confirm for us?

This fields come from enumsConfig.xml. Technically I think it might work but I wouldn't suggest it. Maybe on lab environments.

My suggestion is to use favorite queries instead. Just save all the queries you often use and use from there.

OK thanks, it was a random question brought up by a CCSA class attendee.
