Query Editor errors

When running queries in the query editor, if Conduit encounters an error, it will provide a path for an admin user to further investigate the cause of the error. By clicking on "[Admins Only] Log details", the user will be redirected to the Kibana page with a filter already set for the correlation id displayed and a time filter for the previous 60 minutes.

If there no logs displayed, please expand the time interval filter.

You will see the found index below.

Click on "Next step".
