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)

Datadog

2. Navigate to API Keys in Organization Settings.

   

3. Click New Key and provide your desired name.

   

   

4. Copy the generated key.

   

5. Find your base URL from the browser URL bar. The final URL will have the format: https://http-intake.logs.{base}/api/v2/logs

   For example: https://http-intake.logs.us3.datadoghq.com/api/v2/logs

   

6. Provide the API key and URL in the EAP signup form.

Splunk

1. Log in to your Splunk instance.

2. Navigate to Settings → Data Inputs.

   

3. Add a new HTTP Event Collector.

   

4. Give it an appropriate name and description. Ensure that the Enable Index Acknowledgement checkbox is unchecked.

   

5. Select the desired Source Type, Allowed indices, and Default Index. Incoming logs flow to the default index.

   

6. Once you review and submit, copy the Token Value — this is the API key to provide in the EAP signup form.
