New fields just landed in Gateway DNS, Gateway HTTP, and HTTP requests logs!
Hello, it's Shii! Here's a small but useful update for anyone doing log analysis with Cloudflare Logpush.

What was announced?
Cloudflare's changelog announced new fields across several Logpush datasets. Specifically, the Gateway DNS dataset gained AppliedMaxTTL and UpstreamRecordTTLs, the Gateway HTTP dataset gained Warnings, and the HTTP requests dataset gained CacheLockWaitedMs. For the full field definitions, the post points to the Logpush datasets documentation.
The story so far
Until now, these datasets didn't include the fields being added here. For example, there was no direct way to see cache lock wait time like CacheLockWaitedMs in the logs, which could leave you short on clues when digging into performance bottlenecks.
What changes
If you use Logpush, these new fields will simply start flowing into your existing pipeline. You'll be able to trace things that were previously hard to see, like DNS TTL behavior, Gateway HTTP warnings, and cache lock wait times. Getting more visibility without having to touch your existing log infrastructure is a nice, low-effort win.
Wrap-up
- Gateway DNS gains
AppliedMaxTTLandUpstreamRecordTTLs - Gateway HTTP gains
Warnings - HTTP requests gains
CacheLockWaitedMs
If you've built your log pipeline on Logpush, this is a good moment to check whether you want to start pulling in these fields!
