### Derived fields
The Derived Fields configuration allows you to:
* Add fields parsed from the log message.
* Add a link that uses the value of the field.
You can use this functionality to link to your tracing backend directly from your logs, or link to a user profile page if a userId is present in the log line. These links will be shown in the [log details](/features/explore/#labels-and-parsed-fields).

Each derived field consists of:
-**Name:** Shown in the log details as a label.
-**Regex:** A Regex pattern that runs on the log message and captures part of it to as the value of the new field. Can only contain capture a single group.
-**URL**: A URL template used to construct a link next to the field value in log details. Use special `${__value.raw}` value in your template to interpolate the real field value into your URL template.
