Settings API - Timestamp/Splitting patterns schema table

  • Published Dec 05, 2023

Timestamp/Splitting patterns (builtin:logmonitoring.timestamp-configuration)

Dynatrace OneAgent detects number of timestamp formats in your log records. In case of custom timestamps included in log record define them below. This will assure data quality for analysis. Timestamp detection also influence proper log splitting. If no timestamp is detected or log format prevents auto-timestamping, adjacent lines can be merged into single log record (also indentations are considered).
