# Send Unstructured Logs to Honeycomb

> Explore available methods to send unstructured logs to Honeycomb.

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.
