Stable fields make records easier to interpret together. These guides cover the event vocabulary, application boundaries, and file handling choices behind structured logging. They are useful when a human-readable message needs to become a consistent record that a collector or another team can understand.
Read the schema guide before choosing fields. Use the AI article to apply that discipline to model-driven operations, and the logfile guide to follow records through serialization and rotation. Field meaning and delivery behavior need to remain understandable at every step.
