+## Overview
+
+The Datadog Agent automatically adds certain tags to all logs it collects before sending them to Datadog. These tags are added **pre-ingestion**, and are included in the payload that gets delivered to Datadog.
+
+## Pre-ingestion processing
+
+Since these tags are added pre-ingestion, they:
+
+* Are included in all log data delivered to Datadog
+* Increase the overall size of your log data
+* Are available for filtering, searching, and aggregation in the Log Explorer
+* Can be used in log-based metrics and queries
+
+## Agent tags automatically added to logs
+
+The following tags are automatically added to logs by the Datadog Agent:
+
+| Tag | Description | Conditions |
+|-----|-------------|-------------|
+| `source` | The source of the log (file path, integration name, etc.) | Always when available |
+| `service` | The service name if configured in the log collection | Always when available |
+| `env` | The environment tag if configured globally | Always when available |
+| `version` | The Agent version | Always when available |
+| `filename` | Base name of the tailed file | File-based sources only |
+| `dirname` | Directory containing the tailed file | File-based sources only |
+| `source_host` | IP address of the socket source host | Socket sources (TCP/UDP) only |
+| `event_type` | Type of the Windows event | Windows events only |
+| `event_source` | Source of the Windows event | Windows events only |
+| `event_id` | Windows Event ID | Windows events only, if `tag_event_id: true` |
+| `sid` | Windows Security identifier | Windows events only, if `tag_sid: true` |
+| `truncated` | Source of truncation | If `logs_config.tag_truncated_logs: true` |
+| `multiline` | Source of multi-line aggregation | If `logs_config.tag_multi_line_logs: true` |
+| `aggregated_json` | Indicates that the log was aggregated from multiple JSON log entries | If `logs_config.auto_multi_line.tag_aggregated_json: true` |
