Datadog logging
Please, do not use these settings withAIDBOX_ES_URL (Elastic Logs and Monitoring) enabled. These are two alternative approaches for log management.
To enable Aidbox logs uploading into Datadog, you need to set AIDBOX_DD_API_KEY environment variable.
AIDBOX_DD_API_KEY = <Datadog API Key>
# Required.
# Datadog API Key.
​
AIDBOX_DD_BATCH_SIZE
# Optional; default: 200.
# How many log entries to collect before uploading.
# Aidbox uploads logs when either at least AIDBOX_DD_BATCH_SIZE entries collected 
# or time passed from previous log uploading exceeds AIDBOX_BATCH_TIMEOUT
​
AIDBOX_DD_BATCH_TIMEOUT
# Optional; default: 3600000 (1 hour)
# How long to wait before uploading
# Aidbox uploads logs when either at least AIDBOX_DD_BATCH_SIZE entries collected 
# or time passed from previous log uploading exceeds AIDBOX_BATCH_TIMEOUT
​
AIDBOX_DD_LOGS
# Optional.
# Path to file in which logs will be written in case of error 
# in uploading logs to Datadog.
# If not provided, in case of uploading error logs will be printed to stdout.
​
AIDBOX_DD_TAGS
# Optional.
# Tags associated with your logs.
# Convenient for transferring the name of the environment.
# For example "env:staging"
​
AIDBOX_DD_SITE
# Optional; default: datadoghq.com
The regional site for a Datadog customer. 
This can only be one of datadoghq.com,us3.datadoghq.com,datadoghq.eu,ddog-gov.com
By default, Aidbox sends logs as bundles of multiple records so if there's not enough data you won't see any logs in Datadog. For testing purposes reduce bundle size to 1 record by setting environment variable:
AIDBOX_DD_BATCH_SIZE=1
