HTTP requests are batched with a max of 250 logs or 1 second intervals, whichever happens first. Logs are compressed via Gzip if the destination supports it.

Generic HTTP endpoint

Logs are sent as a POST request with a JSON body. Both HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 protocols are supported. Custom headers can optionally be configured for all requests.

Note that requests are unsigned.

DataDog logs

Logs sent to DataDog have the name of the log source set on the service field of the event and the source set to Supabase. Logs are gzipped before they are sent to DataDog.

The payload message is a JSON string of the raw log event, prefixed with the event timestamp.

To setup DataDog log drain, generate a DataDog API key here and the location of your DataDog site.

Loki

Logs sent to the Loki HTTP API are specifically formatted according to the HTTP API requirements. See the official Loki HTTP API documentation for more details.

Events are batched with a maximum of 250 events per request.

The log source and product name will be used as stream labels.

The event_message and timestamp fields will be dropped from the events to avoid duplicate data.

Loki must be configured to accept structured metadata, and it is advised to increase the default maximum number of structured metadata fields to at least 500 to accommodate large log event payloads of different products.
