Split problems for the same log event configuration

nc1 — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 07:53:03 GMT

Hi,
I have created a log event and I want to split the problems generated by the log event so that every log entry creates a unique problem.
https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/lma-log-events#create-a-log-event
The docs linked above are telling me:
For example, to create a separate problem for each log line message, use event.unique_identifier={content}

Does anyone have any examples of how this is done?

Hi,

Are matching same pattern? It means, you can create one log event matching "X" and another log event matching "Y".

Best regards

Yes, the matcher will match a generic pattern. Then I want to extract something else from the log that is unique, and set that with event.unique_identifier={content} but I can't find any examples of how to do this in a log processor definition

Hi,

Are you using Grail? if yes, you can use openpipeline.

Anyway, you have log parse examples.

Best regards

Yes, I'm using Grail. I've seen the Parse examples, however, I'm not sure how to format the syntax for a command event.unique_identifier={content}
