Generally, unstructured logs contain data that is not organized according to a pre-defined data model. Because unstructured data is not easily sortable, it is more challenging to analyze and process. Honeycomb receives unstructured logs as events with a verbose message attribute. All unstructured log data is contained within this single attribute. You can send unstructured logs to Honeycomb in a few ways.

OpenTelemetry

Use OpenTelemetry to send your unstructured logs to Honeycomb.
