PCF Log Search Tags Dictionary
The following table lists the generated tags that Log Search provides. Log Search attaches these tags when it recognizes that the data belongs to a common log field category. These tags appear at the top of the Available Fields list in Kibana, above the raw keys from the source JSON logs sent to Log Search. You can use these tags to to filter data and more effectively search your logs.
