The plugin defaults to the Rust tracing_subscriber::fmt::json layout. For other log libraries, change these five paths under Settings → Tools → JSONL Log Viewer → Field mapping. Paths are dot-separated JSON lookups (fields.message means “look up fields, then message”); empty path disables that semantic slot.

Format Timestamp Level Target Message Fields container
Rust tracing (default) timestamp level target fields.message fields
pino time level name msg (blank)
Serilog @t @l SourceContext @mt (blank)
bunyan time level name msg (blank)
OpenTelemetry Logs timestamp severityText attributes.code.namespace body attributes

When fields container is blank, every top-level JSON key that isn’t consumed by the other four paths is rendered as a key=value pair. When it’s set, only keys under that object are rendered, with the leaf consumed by message suppressed so you don’t see the message duplicated.
