Compared to CSV, logfmt has explicit named fields. This helps tools to apply generic rules like : ok this is pid, this is timestamp, etc. without any configuration. Loki and Grafana indexes a subset of known fields. This is harder to achieve with a bunch a semi-colon separated values. Compared to JSON, logfmt is terser and easier for human eyes and fingers. This is why I think logfmt for PostgreSQL could be a good option. Regards, Étienne
