send_logs
Transmit logs to Datadog for monitoring and analysis via HTTP API, supporting compression and batch processing with size limits.
Instructions
Send your logs to your Datadog platform over HTTP. Limits per HTTP request are:
Maximum content size per payload (uncompressed): 5MB
Maximum size for a single log: 1MB
Maximum array size if sending multiple logs in an array: 1000 entries
Any log exceeding 1MB is accepted and truncated by Datadog:
For a single log request, the API truncates the log at 1MB and returns a 2xx.
For a multi-logs request, the API processes all logs, truncates only logs larger than 1MB, and returns a 2xx.
Datadog recommends sending your logs compressed.
Add the Content-Encoding: gzip header to the request when sending compressed logs.
Log events can be submitted with a timestamp that is up to 18 hours in the past.
The status codes answered by the HTTP API are:
202: Accepted: the request has been accepted for processing
400: Bad request (likely an issue in the payload formatting)
401: Unauthorized (likely a missing API Key)
403: Permission issue (likely using an invalid API Key)
408: Request Timeout, request should be retried after some time
413: Payload too large (batch is above 5MB uncompressed)
429: Too Many Requests, request should be retried after some time
500: Internal Server Error, the server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request, request should be retried after some time
503: Service Unavailable, the server is not ready to handle the request probably because it is overloaded, request should be retried after some time
