Datadog Log Event

A log event stored in Datadog Log Management. Log events represent individual log entries collected from applications, infrastructure, cloud services, and custom sources. Each log event has a unique identifier, a timestamp, a message, and optional structured attributes extracted from the log content. Logs are indexed and searchable using Datadog's log query language and can be correlated with metrics, traces, and events for full observability.
