datadog, Wednesday, September 23rd, 2026
Datadog's new Tap to Parse feature extracts searchable fields from unstructured logs across Log Explorer and Observability Pipelines.
Datadog introduced Tap to Parse, a feature for extracting searchable fields from unstructured log data.
It works across Log Explorer, Log Pipelines, and Observability Pipelines, letting users click into raw log text to generate parsing rules rather than writing them manually.
The goal is to help teams find answers in their logs faster by turning previously unstructured fields into structured, searchable attributes without extensive manual pipeline configuration.
