No way to set env tag

[nirvdrum]

All of our logs going into Datadog are tagged by environment (path name env). This tag is set up by the Datadog agents, so we don't really have control over the path. I followed the documentation on setting up global context for logging, which sets the "env" key:

datadogLogs.setLoggerGlobalContext({ env: 'custom-env-name', service: 'service-name' })

Unfortunately, this is coming into Datadog with path @env, rather than env. As such, the facet we're using to segregate logs by environment doesn't work. As far as I can tell, there's nothing exposed in the API that would allow setting up this tag.

Hi @nirvdrum!
For now, we don't have an API to send tags directly from the browser SDK.
However, if you are using logs, you can configure a remapper to set an env tag from the env attribute.

@bcaudan I have a similar question regarding datadogRum. How addRumGlobalContext is supposed to work? I can't find my tags in Datadog. Maybe I'm just missing something from the documentation?

Hi @liss-mouse,

You can find addRumGlobalContext content in Datadog inside the events attributes.
From the explorer, inside the view side panel under the attributes tab.
From the analytics, by looking at a specific event.

Thanks a lot, that helped 🙂 (DD interface is not that obvious for newbies 🙃)

There is on going work to improve the UI and the documentation on that front 🙂

env tag is available since v1.11.5 with #392
