Left some comments, otherwise LGTM as a first implementation

Thanks @lcian I changed the code in #4374 in order to reduce merge conflicts.

sentry/src/main/java/io/sentry/SentryLogEvent.java

+public final class SentryLogEvent implements JsonUnknown, JsonSerializable {
+
+  private @NotNull SentryId traceId;
+  private @NotNull Double timestamp;
+
+  private @NotNull String body;
+
+  private @Nullable SentryLevel level;
+  private @Nullable Map<String, SentryLogEventAttributeValue> attributes;
+  private @Nullable Map<String, Object> unknown;


I think the optional severity_number is missing which later on is inferred by the SDK if not set, e.g

https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/blob/caa13167c5d6e35dd2a5dbc08b86f0f0f40681eb/packages/core/src/logs/constants.ts#L8
