The Log Observer Connect timeline displays a histogram of logged events over time, grouped by values of the message field :guilabel:`severity`. The severity key is a field that all logs contain. It has the values :guilabel:`DEBUG`, :guilabel:`ERROR`, :guilabel:`INFO`, :guilabel:`UNKNOWN`, and :guilabel:`WARNING`. Your logs might use a different field name for the severity key. Because the severity key in many logs is called "level", Log Observer automatically remaps the log field "level" to "severity".

If your logs call the severity key by a different name, that's okay. To ensure that Log Observer Connect can read your field, transform your field name to :guilabel:`severity` or add a :guilabel:`severity` alias to your field name. To transform your field name, see :new-page:`Extract fields from event data using Ingest Processor <https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/9.3.2408/IngestProcessor/FieldExtractionPipeline>`. To add an alias to your field name, see :ref:`logs-alias`.
