Dynatrace automatically enriches logs ingested both via API.
The Log ingestion API automatically transforms status, severity, level, and syslog.severity severity keys to the loglevel attribute.
The input values for the status, severity, level, and syslog.severity severity keys are transformed (transformation is not case sensitive) into output values for the loglevel attribute based on the following mapping:
Input value
Output value
Example value
Begins with emerg or f
EMERGENCY
Emergency, fail, Failure
Begins with e excluding emerg
ERROR
Error, error
Begins with a
ALERT
alarm, Alert
Begins with c
CRITICAL
Critical, crucial
Begins with s
SEVERE
Severe, serious
Begins with w
WARN
warn, Warning
Begins with n
NOTICE
note, Notice
Begins with i
INFO
Info, information
Begins with d or trace or verbose
DEBUG
debug, TRACE, Verbose
Additionally, for each log event, a status attribute is created with a value that is a sum of loglevel values based on the following grouping:
Included loglevel values
Combined status attribute value
SEVERE, ERROR, CRITICAL, ALERT, FATAL, EMERGENCY
ERROR
WARN
WARN
INFO, TRACE, DEBUG, NOTICE
INFO
NONE
NONE
For example:
The level severity key in the Log ingestion API request parameter contains the value serious.
level severity key is transformed into the loglevel attribute with the serious value mapped to SEVERE based on the above table.loglevel attribute containing the SEVERE value is grouped into status attribute. Based on the grouping table above, the status attribute will contain the ERROR value.ERRORSEVERE
