Exceptionless 4.1.0 cannot navigate from the 'Parent' url

Just like title said,when i click the 'Parent' url,I got nothing.

But I can use a query filter like this to achieve my goal:
(idx.parent-r:63cb4802-3e26-48ee-b4b6-3b1a386e83e3)

How are you setting the reference id on the two submitted events?

Ok,Firstly,let me introduce my client project for you,it's based on dotnet core 2.2 framework,and here are my all procedures:

Import nuget package,Exceptionless.Extensions.Logging
In "Configure" method,I invoke this method,loggerFactory.AddExceptionless(key, url);
In whatever Contoller,I use logger like this way:

using (var scope = logger.BeginScope(“my state”))
{
    logger.LogInformation("test 1");
    logger.LogInformation("test 2");
    logger.LogInformation("test 3");
}

That's all.Thanks for your reply!

So the reference is coming from the begin scope? And you're expecting the three to be a child under the my state?

@niemyjski

@niemyjski Exactly!

Sorry for the delay I was on a long holiday. I'll have to take a look at this but I don't think we are adding a reference id on scopes

Looks like we do create an event reference here: https://github.com/exceptionless/Exceptionless.Net/blob/master/src/Platforms/Exceptionless.Extensions.Logging/ExceptionlessLogger.cs#L91-L92 I'll try and add some tests to see what's going on.

@niemyjski

@niemyjski Ok!many thanks!(*￣︶￣)

My apologies for the delay I've been able to reproduce this. Looking into it, doesn't look like an event is being created with a reference id set for the parent scope. I'm not sure what should happen here. Seems like we aren't setting the reference id on any of our events that I can tell. We probably need to make a pass at this on the backend and through all of our logging clients.

Hello, I'm encountering the exact same issue with Exceptionless 8.1.6.
Is there a known solution or workaround?

@yangon99 would you mind submitting a test or pr for this, would be a huge help

@niemyjski
I have an event JSON from my self-hosted Exceptionless:
https://pastebin.com/cUWvcj1C

I can locate that event using the filter ref.parent:fe7ce97e-e2ad-4531-863e-8879b70759f6.
However, when I try the filter pattern I found in the following code (reference:fe7ce97e-e2ad-4531-863e-8879b70759f6), I get an empty result:

Exceptionless/src/Exceptionless.Web/Controllers/EventController.cs

Line 556 in 59fe164

    
           return await GetInternalAsync(sf, ti, String.Concat("reference:", referenceId), null, mode, page, limit, before, after);

I'm not very familiar with Exceptionless internals, so I'm not sure if the above information is enough to help identify the issue.
During my upcoming vacation, I might take some time to dig deeper into how Exceptionless handles ref.

Adds event reference test coverage

Thanks for the report. We are closing this as part of an issue cleanup.

This was reported against Exceptionless 4.1.0 and the legacy UI. I checked the latest Svelte UI and did not find the same current "Parent" navigation surface, while the current event overview uses explicit faceted filter actions for related metadata.

If this is still reproducible in the latest app, please open a new issue with the current route, event payload, and the exact link/action that fails.
