| ### How to add custom log source | ||

| In order to add a custom source to your OTLP logs, set log attribute or resource attribute `datadog.log.source`. |

It's unusual to support an attribute both as a log attribute and a resource attribute (I don't know of any examples from semantic conventions at least). Why are we doing it like this?

I agree with you, and ideally this would be read only from resource attributes. It's currently done this way due to how the logs code is structured. The origin is accessible here, and this is where we need to set the source.
At this point, the attributes and resource attributes have been merged and are not distinguishable within AdditionalProperties. See Attributes/ resource attributes.
We have the same issue with status. This is fixable, but requires a refactor of the logs code to allow this.

As discussed offline, will create a card to refactor logs path, and in the meantime will remove support for log attributes from docs.
