Description

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

As a user I would like structured logging to better integrate with platform specific logging frameworks that use structured logging. This would allow higher order tools to better get specific key/value pair data without having to parse strings.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Update dsc trace payload to include a fields object type property.

Research direction

Start at the DSC trace payload entry point and determine where its schema and serialization are defined. Specify the fields object shape, add coverage for structured key/value data, and verify the resulting trace payload against the agreed logging behavior.
