Sample vector.toml file

[emlim23]

Hi all,

I need help with my use case: We have a 3rd-party server/service that uses Vector to enable exporting of logs. Are currently using Datadog already and we would like to connect our datadog instance with their exporter using vector.toml file. Can somebody provide some examples on how we can do this?

We're using CubeJS and in their docs they have this: https://cube.dev/docs/cloud/workspace/logs
I'm not familiar with Vector so I'm not sure what I can put in the vector.toml file they provided to enable it to connect to our Datadog instance. Thanks!

Hi @emlim23 ,

I imagine the 3rd-party can assist you better since you are unfamiliar with Vector, but if you want to try it yourself, I'd recommend looking at Datadog sinks you see on https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/ to see how to configure them.

Cube now has a Datadog integration guide with the vector.toml example you need:

[sinks.datadog_logs]
type = "datadog_logs"
inputs = ["cubejs-server", "refresh-scheduler", "warmup-job", "cubestore"]
site = "datadoghq.eu"
default_api_key = "$CUBE_CLOUD_MONITORING_DATADOG_API_KEY"
compression = "gzip"
healthcheck = false

These input names are provided by Cube Cloud. Follow the guide to enable the integration and supply the API key, and set site to your Datadog account's site.
