Github Webhook

Set your Github webhook to this Logflare endpoint and we'll ingest Github webhooks for you. This endpoint drops all keys ending in _url so it keeps your Github payloads in check.

        
http://localhost:4000/logs/github?api_key=ebk5QBWAs4P1&source=9b660cd9-d441-4018-82f2-8eeab796aec1
        

Github Action

Use our Github Action (thanks @gr2m) to easily log events coming from your repositories.

Setup the Github Action

Fluent Bit

Watch log files on a server with this Fluent Bit output config.

Generic Webhook

Use the generic JSON ingest endpoint to generate log events from an external webhook.

e.g. you can set a Github webhook to send events to:

          
http://localhost:4000/logs/json?api_key=ebk5QBWAs4P1&source=9b660cd9-d441-4018-82f2-8eeab796aec1
        

Or send generic JSON events yourself.

          
    curl -X "POST" "http://localhost:4000/logs/json?source=9b660cd9-d441-4018-82f2-8eeab796aec1" \
         -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
         -H 'X-API-KEY: ebk5QBWAs4P1' \
         -d $'[
      {
        "yellow": true,
        "tags": [
          "popular, tropical, organic"
        ],
        "store": {

        },

        "name": "banana",
        "qty": 12
      }
    ]'
        

Custom API Request

Send logs via an HTTP request. This request body payload lets you send over a human readable event message in the message field.

          
    curl -X "POST" "http://localhost:4000/logs?source=9b660cd9-d441-4018-82f2-8eeab796aec1" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -H 'X-API-KEY: ebk5QBWAs4P1' \
    -d $'{
      "event_message": "This is another log message.",
      "metadata": {
        "ip_address": "100.100.100.100",
        "request_method": "POST",
        "custom_user_data": {
          "vip": true,
          "id": 38,

            "street": "123 W Main St",
            "city": "New York"
          }
        },
        "datacenter": "aws",
        "request_headers": {
          "connection": "close",
          "user_agent": "chrome"
        }
      }

Custom Cloudflare Worker

Customize the Cloudflare worker using the template below.
