Setting @Level from a property?

[nastynaz]

I'm using Rust's tracing-opentelemetry crate to ingest traces in OTLP format. This sets the level (info, warn, debug etc) in a property called level. How can I get seq to recognise this field and use it as the @Level property?

Is this possible or would I have to write my own adapter to set @l before sending the logs?

Hi @nastynaz, thanks for your message.

Unfortunately this would need to be done client-side, converting to Seq's HTTP/JSON format instead of OTLP.

The OTLP format defines the allowed values for span statuses (OK and ERROR, I believe) and maps them to numbers, so there won't be a way to customize how this value is transmitted using OTLP.

I'll drop you a line here if we come up with any other ideas. Hope this helps!
