Logs in context

Use case

Correlate logs with traces and metrics so every drill-down is seamless—ensuring cohesive, always-available context in your observability platform of choice.

Prerequisites

1. Consistent telemetry schema

Define and propagate common attributes (e.g., service.name, deployment.environment, trace_id, span_id) across traces, logs, and metrics.

2. Structured log format

Ensure logs are structured (e.g., JSON or key-value) so correlation fields (trace_id, span_id) can be parsed and indexed.
