View raw source surrounding an event

[haagenhasle]

It will be great if after you run a search in UI, you could select an event and ( by right clicking for instance) you could open a "show source window" displaying the raw data for the event you selected and some surrounding events.

For example, if I do a search with "OutOfMemoryError", I should see some events matching "outOfMemoryError". if i select one specific event,I would like to see the source data flow where this event has occured to see what happened just after and before that helps me investigate the problem. (like Splunk "view source" feature).

See https://logstash.jira.com/browse/LOGSTASH-396 for further info.

Used Splunks "view source" feature a lot and I'm really missing it. Helps so much because you need to see some surrounding messages so much to understand what was going on.
