dt.system.bucket field is not displayed by default

Is there a reason the dt.system.bucket field is not displayed by default, and is there any plan to change that so users have better access to filtering info?

Hi @szimsley ,

You can still display the bucket details using the following command:

| fieldsAdd dt.system.bucket

Then apply the filter like this:

| filter dt.system.bucket == "default_logs"

Does that work for you?

Hey @Akhil-Jayendran, we are aware we can add the field to each query, but we wanted to be able to have that field displayed by default. We work with several buckets and currently users don't have easy access to see which of bucket their data is in, making it so their queries are less efficient. This is especially important when using the logs app as you have to go into the advanced mode just to add the ability to view that field. 

As we transition to using segments, having that information available to our users would be beneficial for them to know what bucket they needs to select.
