Summary

Log management solutions can help filter, aggregate, and analyze log data by standardizing attribute names across different technologies and data sources. This enables easier analysis of HTTP traffic and performance across the entire infrastructure. Datadog's common schema uses a prefix for similar attributes from various log integrations, allowing users to filter and aggregate logs by these terms. The schema is also extensible, enabling customization or addition of standard attributes for custom log data. Using a common schema enhances visibility into an organization's environment and can be easily implemented with Datadog's log processing features.
