Question

Hi I m trying to figure out how to extract fields from log messages The messages are emitted as json lines and picked up and when I look in the signoz ui at the json for an entry the `body` field is a string I assume that means I have to use a `json parser` to get the structured data out of it but no matter what I do it doesn t seem to actually parse it so does anybody know what might be wrong There are no errors in the collector log

I tried adding this to the operators ``` type json parser if body startsWith parse from body parse to attributes body``` But no `attributes body` field appears anywhere

Yeah you will have to use json parser based on your log line you migh have to use a regex parse if there are non json elements in your log line ex <https github com SigNoz logs benchmark blob 0b2451e6108d8fa5fdd5808c4e174bd52b9d55d3 signoz signoz client otel collector config yaml L9>
