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.

It is an antipattern to extract information that already exists in your log lines and put it into structured metadata.
