Point-to-point logs export (EAP)

To export Forge app logs to an observability vendor, you need to set up your observability vendor account and submit the required credentials and configuration details in the EAP signup form.

The following observability vendors are supported:

• Datadog
• Splunk
• Sumo Logic
• CloudWatch (US region only)
• Google Cloud

Supported features

• Selective app exclusion — use your developer space ID as the primary input and provide a deny list of apps to exclude from the export.
• Environment filtering — filter export data by environment to get targeted insights.
• Per-app export URLs — each app in your developer space can have a unique export URL, giving you flexibility in how data is routed.
