Coloring logs dashboard tile?

In a Managed environment, I'm trying to figure a way on how to differentiate log entries, in the logs dashboard tile. Having a different color for, say, different loglevel's?

For instance, the last line is an Error, but it's not easily seen:

I imagine this isn't possible, as it is for instance for tables in Data Explorer metrics, but is there some hack to do it, before I convert this to a Product Idea?

Hello,

I managed to do it via the thresholds, does this also apply to your case?

In log widget you can easily overlook ERROR lines (among other lines). I would suggest filtering to f.e. "ERROR" and then count & visualize as standard metric with colored thresholds to alert. Plus add either filtered logs widget or link to filtered logs screen.

@Etienne1

Believe you are talking about metric, not logs...
