Datadog has several default attributes that are appended to all log entries. ## `status` The default `status` attribute is based off of the Syslog severity standards. You should use these values for any `status` attributes that you have to remap. | Value | Description | | --------|--------------| | `emerg` | System is unusable | | `alert` | Action must be taken immediately | | `critical` | Critical condition | | `error` | Error condition | | `warning` | Potentially dangerous condition | | `notice`| Normal but significant conditions | |`info`| Informational messages confirming application is working.| | `debug`| Messages useful when debugging an applicaiton.| | `OK` | Success | ### Default mapping rules Each incoming status value is mapped as follows: - Integers from `0` to `7` map to the [Syslog severity standards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syslog#Severity_level) - Strings beginning with **`emerg`** or **f** (case-insensitive) map to **`emerg` (0)** - Strings beginning with **`a`** (case-insensitive) map to **`alert` (1)** - Strings beginning with **`c`** (case-insensitive) map to **`critical` (2)** - Strings beginning with **`e`** (case-insensitive)—that do not match `emerg`—map to **`error` (3)** - Strings beginning with **`w`** (case-insensitive) map to **`warning` (4)** - Strings beginning with **`n`** (case-insensitive) map to **`notice` (5)** - Strings beginning with **`i`** (case-insensitive) map to **`info` (6)** - Strings beginning with **`d`**, **`trace`** or **`verbose`** (case-insensitive) map to **`debug` (7)** - Strings beginning with **`o`** or **`s`**, or matching **`OK`** or **`Success`** (case-insensitive) map to **`OK`** - All others map to **info (6)**
