Use Observability Pipelines’ Sumo Logic destination to send logs to your Sumo Logic Hosted Collector.

Setup

Set up the Sumo Logic destination and its environment variables when you set up a pipeline. The information below is configured in the pipelines UI.

Set up the destination

The following fields are optional:

1. In the Encoding dropdown menu, select whether you want to encode your pipeline’s output in JSON, Logfmt, or Raw text. If no decoding is selected, the decoding defaults to JSON.
2. Enter a source name to override the default name value configured for your Sumo Logic collector’s source.
3. Enter a host name to override the default host value configured for your Sumo Logic collector’s source.
4. Enter a category name to override the default category value configured for your Sumo Logic collector’s source.
5. Click Add Header to add any custom header fields and values.

Set the environment variables

• Unique URL generated for the HTTP Logs and Metrics Source to receive log data.
  • The Sumo Logic HTTP Source endpoint. The Observability Pipelines Worker sends processed logs to this endpoint. For example, https://<ENDPOINT>.collection.sumologic.com/receiver/v1/http/<UNIQUE_HTTP_COLLECTOR_CODE>, where:
    • <ENDPOINT> is your Sumo collection endpoint.
    • <UNIQUE_HTTP_COLLECTOR_CODE> is the string that follows the last forward slash (/) in the upload URL for the HTTP source.
  • Stored in the environment variable DD_OP_DESTINATION_SUMO_LOGIC_HTTP_COLLECTOR_URL.

How the destination works
