Automatic Log Severity Extraction is Generally Available
A lot of the logs that are sent to Dash0 are unstructured: they are strings of text, with important information like severity, “hidden” inside the message. Until recently, such logs have been marked in Dash0 logs as having severity UNKNOWN. But this is a thing of the past.
Our log ingestion pipeline uses AI to understand the log structure of applications and automatically extract the severity. Previously in Beta, this capability is now available for everyone, out of the box. And at no extra charge!
Logs with known severity like INFO, WARN and ERROR are not only easier to filter in the UI, but can also be used as system health indicators when setting up dashboards and check rules.
Log AI in action: Shortly after the capability was enabled, logs with unknown severity (in grey) were replaced with color coded logs, also highlighting a couple errors and warnings that would have been indistinguishable otherwise.
