Structured logs contain data that is organized in a well-structured and consistent format. Structured logs include key-value pairs that provide context about the logged event, which you can customize to your unique needs. They can be easily read, searched, analyzed, and processed, which allows for more efficient troubleshooting and better insights into performance.
