These are the fields exported by the logging system and available for searching
from Elasticsearch and Kibana. Use the full, dotted field name when searching.
For example, for an Elasticsearch /_search URL, to look for a Kubernetes pod name,
use /_search/q=kubernetes.pod_name:name-of-my-pod.
The following sections describe fields that may not be present in your logging store. Not all of these fields are present in every record. The fields are grouped in the following categories:
exported-fields-Default
exported-fields-systemd
exported-fields-kubernetes
exported-fields-pipeline_metadata
exported-fields-ovirt
exported-fields-aushape
exported-fields-tlog
These are the default fields exported by the logging system and available for searching
from Elasticsearch and Kibana. The default fields are Top Level and collectd*
The top level fields are common to every application, and may be present in
every record. For the Elasticsearch template, top level fields populate the actual
mappings of default in the template’s mapping section.
