Send your logs to your Datadog platform over HTTP. Limits per HTTP request are: - Maximum content size per payload (uncompressed): 5MB - Maximum size for a single log: 1MB - Maximum array size if sending multiple logs in an array: 1000 entries Any log exceeding 1MB is accepted and truncated by Datadog: - For a single log request, the API truncates the log at 1MB and returns a 2xx. - For a multi-logs request, the API processes all logs, truncates only logs larger than 1MB, and returns a 2xx. Datadog recommends sending your logs compressed. Add the `Content-Encoding: gzip` header to the request when sending compressed logs. Log events can be submitted with a timestamp that is up to 18 hours in the past. The status codes answered by the HTTP API are: - 202: Accepted: the request has been accepted for processing - 400: Bad request (likely an issue in the payload formatting) - 401: Unauthorized (likely a missing API Key) - 403: Permission issue (likely using an invalid API Key) - 408: Request Timeout, request should be retried after some time - 413: Payload too large (batch is above 5MB uncompressed) - 429: Too Many Requests, request should be retried after some time - 500: Internal Server Error, the server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request, request should be retried after some time - 503: Service Unavailable, the server is not ready to handle the request probably because it is overloaded, request should be retried after some time
