KVP is a set of data elements consisting of a key, a constant defining the type of data set, and its associated variable value. KVP is an efficient way to store log data because it is easy for software applications to process it. At the same time, it can also be consumed by humans effortlessly.

KVP is one of the many log formats NXLog supports. The dedicated xm_kvp extension module provides functions and procedures for processing key-value pairs and can both parse and generate KVP structured logs.
