Yes, this is a common confusing point between structured logging and wide event. The Wide Event 101 article I referenced has clear explanation: > Structured logs could be wide events, but not all structured logs are wide events. A structured log with 5 fields is not a wide event. A structured log with no context is not a wide event. And these also why it requires no code changes to extract more metrics from wide event. The context can carry enough information and you just write a new query to retrieve it. In current metrics tooling, you will make code change to define new labels or add new metrics for that. | ||||||||

I think the point of OP's comment is that while you're not paying code tax for to parse/aggro the data as it's all in one place you're paying code tax for actually generating the event with everything in it. | ||||||||
