Allow custom tags for Browser and RUM on the initialization

The current applications that we monitor we make extensive use of tags to be able to aggregate and filter the logs in the way the teams get easier debugging.

Running the browser log it is possible to see default tags being added based on the params of passed on the init method. As can be confirmed here https://github.com/DataDog/browser-sdk/blob/3b25ae0f92842f37be0a343dbd5d690fe973889f/packages/core/src/configuration.ts#L192-L196.

I was wondering if would be ok to have an optional parameter to the interface UserConfiguration to allow custom tags during the init of the browser logs and RUM.

maintainer update: behavior disabled since v4

For the record, as long as this feature isn’t carried out on datadog side, you can “hack” it by including the custom tags into one of the initialization options like this:

datadogLogs.init({
  ...,
  env: 'dev,branch:master,commit:abcd12'
})

Which of course is a bug in the first place, as the commas in those options should probably get escaped.

Hi @rodrigopinto

There is ongoing work to merge the attributes and tags concepts so we are not willing to introduce this kind of API for now. However, as you are using logs, you can configure a remapper to set an env tag from the env attribute.
