- If you are using [Explore Logs](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/visualizations/simplified-exploration/logs/) to visualize and explore your Loki logs. You must set `discover_log_levels` and `allow_structured_metadata` to `true` in your Loki configuration.
- If you are a large-scale customer, who is ingesting more than 75TB of logs a month and are using [Bloom filters](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/<LOKI_VERSION>/operations/bloom-filters/) (Experimental), starting in [Loki 3.3](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/<LOKI_VERSION>/release-notes/v3-3/) Bloom filters now utilize structured metadata.

We do not recommend extracting information that already exists in your log lines and putting it into structured metadata.

## Attaching structured metadata to log lines

You have the option to attach structured metadata to log lines in the push payload along with each log line and the timestamp.

This feature is an [experimental feature](/docs/release-life-cycle/). Engineering and on-call support is not available. No SLA is provided.
Note that this feature is intended for users who are ingesting more than 75TB of logs a month, as it is designed to accelerate queries against large volumes of logs.
Query acceleration via Bloom filters is enabled for select Grafana Cloud customers ingesting more that 75TB of logs a month.
{{< /admonition >}}

Loki leverages [bloom filters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter) to speed up queries by reducing the amount of data Loki needs to load from the store and iterate through.
