Create way to navigate by structured metadata

[stevendungan]

Currently, there is no option in the UI to explore structured metadata, or add structured metadata fields to queries.

Structured metadata is used for:

• transient, high cardinality infra labels (e.g. pod)
• OTel resource attributes which are not promoted to labels

We should tackle this before GA, but the team does not think that another tab is a good solution - so we should explore the options, like integrating with detected fields (and calling it just fields?)

@svennergr assigned this to you as you are working on structured metadata task.

@svennergr any news?

[trevorwhitney]

Structured metadata should be already be included in the detected fields pane, and in the response from Loki they are treated identically. I have noticed some problems in how we're determining which detected fields to show, that might be filtering out some of the structured metadata, but that should be fixed once we get the detected fields from the API in #678

Solved by #736

@svennergr @trevorwhitney I updated both grafana to 11.2 and explorelogs to 1.0.0 and it seems that this didnt solve my issue.

@omri-shilton do you see structured metadata and parsed fields in the logs view for this same service and time range?

Yes

@omri-shilton would you mind opening a new issue, with as much detail as you can provide (ie. seeing the failed network requests would be useful).

@trevorwhitney i already have an issue which was closed
#486
