Issues connecting `fly-log-shipper` to Datadog

1

Hi all! We are trying to send Fly log to Datadog but we’re getting the following error when running fly-log-shipper:

vector::cli: Configuration error. error=unknown field `codec`, expected one of `only_fields`, `except_fields`, `timestamp_format` for key `sinks.datadog`

Is there anyone that knows what we are doing wrong?

We fixed it by modifying vector-configs/sinks/datadog.toml:

  1. Removing the encoding.codec = json
  2. We then got access denied errors, because the site wasn’t defined. We are using datadoghq.eu

Hi @Yaeger

Yes, I was about to post about the encoding bug. I’ll create a PR to get that fixed.

Can you edit the datadog.toml again and add site = "datadoghq.eu" to see if that resolves your issue?

Yep! Configuring site = datadoghq.eu works :slight_smile:

Thanks for the confirmation ( and finding the issue ). We’ll get in a fix.

Perhaps adding a DATADOG_SITE env would be a nice option.
