  "clientIp": "IP Address of client that triggered the error",
  "service": "Unique name of the application/microservice where the error is triggered",
  "errorMessage": "A user readable form of the error message",
  "stackTrace": "The entire Exception in string form",
  "clientId": "Unique Identification for Client"
}
