We don't need to request all the logs entries at once to populate the UI.
In fact, it would cause performance issues as it is a web server 
receiving multiple requests by different users at the same time which 
will generate a huge amount of logs.

IMO we should display only the entries for the current day and allow 
user do a advanced search, ie, by specific date, plugin, user, etc.

So for the logs already displayed, the filtering option you suggested 
will work well. But the advanced search is essential.
