Introduced in branch: 
8.4.x
Introduced in version: 
8.4.0
Description: 

The Views integration for the Database Logging(dblog) module has been updated:

  1. {watchdog}.wid and {watchdog}.uid are now using standard plugins handlers instead of numeric for view fields. This doesn't add new functionality but prevents breaking links when using this field to build links.
  2. When adding a relationship to the uid the join is now made to users_field_data table. This allow to display new user data in watchdog views (like username, email, etc)
  3. {watchdog}.types filter is now using a new plugin (dblog_types) instead of the in_operator. This doesn't add new functionality but will allow deprecate some functions from the dblog module in the future.
  4. {watchdog}.severity filter is now using RfcLogLevel::getLevels() which allow to see translatable log levels

Existing views will be automatically updated after running the updates. The default views provided by config by contributed/custom modules or contributed/custom profiles will be updated after saving. (if they weren't installed at the time of update the site).
