Ingest logs from the Datadog Agent

You ingest Datadog logs using the Datadog agent. You can sent the logs only to Cloud Observability, or you can send them to both Datadog and Cloud Observability.

Basic Datadog Agent configuration

To only send logs to Cloud Observability, paste the content below in your Datadog Agent [configuration file][datadog-agent-configuration]. Replace YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN with your own value.

api_key: YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN

logs_enabled: true
logs_config:
  logs_dd_url: logingest.lightstep.com # US data center
  # logs_dd_url: logingest.eu.lightstep.com # EU data center
  use_v2_api: false
  force_use_http: true

To send logs to both Datadog and Cloud Observability ([dual-shipping][datadog-agent-dualshipping]), use the following configuration. Replace YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN with your own value.

logs_config:
  use_v2_api: false
