Adding custom dimensions in logs

Hello,

I see below predefined dimensions, is there any way to extract a custom dimension from the log lines?

Hi @henk_stobbe

After verifying the documentation, I do not see this option.

Hi @henk_stobbe ,

I think you need to create a log custom attributes first then you can use them to filter the logs and as dimensions when creating metrics.

for more details please check the following for the classic log monitoring

https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/log-monitoring-log-custom-attributes

for me, I've created multiple to capture some custom attributes from JSON log event but it's not reflected as mentioned on the documentation, so I've opened a support ticket, and still in progress but you can try to create that as well.

Hi Mohamed,

Thanks for your aswer/addon, I see in the link it is for logging V1, I am afraid in logging V2 (Grail) this option is not even available )-;

Hi @henk_stobbe ,

I can see that there is an update for Grail as well, if it's not reflected yet, I think you can check with the Dynatrace support team
