EdgeOne Real-Time Log Push Configuration
Refer to Push to HTTP Server to configure a real-time log push task in EdgeOne. Below are the configuration instructions for pushing to Datadog destination information:
1. On the destination information page, fill in the destination and parameter information:
API address: Please check your Datadog website URL. For example, https://http-intake.logs.example.datadoghq.com/api/v2/logs;
Content compression: To decrease log Content size and save traffic overhead, you can enable Content compression by checking the option to use gzip to compress log files. EdgeOne will use gzip format to compress logs before transmission and add the HTTP header Content-Encoding: gzip to indicate the compression format;
Origin server authentication: Select "None";
Custom HTTP request header: Add DD-API-KEY as the header name and paste the set api key as the header value.
2. Click Push.
3. During the configuration phase of a real-time log push task, test data will be sent to the API address to verify API connectivity. For details, see Push to HTTP Server.
