You should only use structured metadata in the following situations:

• If you are ingesting data in OpenTelemetry format, using the Grafana Agent or an OpenTelemetry Collector. Structured metadata was designed to support native ingestion of OpenTelemetry data.
• If you have high cardinality metadata that should not be used as a label and does not exist in the log line. Some examples might include `process_id` or `thread_id` or Kubernetes pod names.
