Log data is reported as a JSON document. Log format determines whether log data identification information will be included and how the data is formatted. Each type of log format is described below.
JSON
This format includes:
JSON Array
This format generates a JSON document that contains an array of objects. Each object is a log entry associated with the current JSON document.
JSON Lines
This format generates an invalid JSON document that contains an object on each line. Each object is a log entry associated with the current JSON document. This object is an exact match for an object contained by the Logs array.
CSV
This format generates a comma-separated value (CSV) document with the following format:
Adding or removing log fields may alter the order in which they are reported within a CSV document. It is important to rely on the CSV's first line to identify the set of log fields that are reported for each log entry and the order in which data for those fields will be provided.
