This article goes over how to send logs from Heroku Logplex to Datadog over HTTP.
Prerequisites
Datadog
Copy your Datadog API key. It should look something like:
67890abcedf01234567890abcdef0123
Add an HTTPS log drain so Heroku Logplex sends a POST request to Datadog:
heroku drains:add --app=<HEROKU_APP_NAME> 'https://http-intake.logs.datadoghq.com/api/v2/logs?dd-api-key=<DATADOG_API_KEY>&ddsource=heroku&env=production&service=<HEROKU_APP_NAME>&host=<HEROKU_APP_NAME>.herokuapp.com'
Replace
<HEROKU_APP_NAME>with your Heroku app name and<DATADOG_API_KEY>with your Datadog API key.
If you’re still using the deprecated v1 endpoint:
heroku drains:add --app=<HEROKU_APP_NAME> 'https://http-intake.logs.datadoghq.com/v1/input/<DATADOG_API_KEY>?ddsource=heroku&service=<HEROKU_APP_NAME>&host=<HEROKU_APP_NAME>.herokuapp.com'
To see your log drain:
heroku drains --app=<HEROKU_APP_NAME> # --json
