Add logstash structured arg support #14959

trask · 2025-10-11T18:28:14Z

Adds support for capturing Logstash StructuredArguments (e.g., StructuredArguments.v() and StructuredArguments.keyValue()) as OpenTelemetry log record attributes.

Key changes:

Adds new configuration option otel.instrumentation.logback-appender.experimental.capture-logstash-structured-arguments (defaults to false)
Renames existing capture-logstash-attributes config to capture-logstash-marker-attributes for clarity (with deprecation support)
Splits Logstash marker and structured arguments tests into separate test suites for better organization
Updates documentation with new configuration options

Resolves #14230

renamed capture-logstash-attributes to be more specific: capture-logstash-marker-attributes

to avoid confusion with the new capture-logstash-structured-arguments
