PostHog logs for Datadog

— the description by PostHog

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill provides the configuration steps to forward logs from Datadog-compatible exporters directly to PostHog. By redirecting your log traffic to PostHog's ingestion endpoint, you can centralize system logs alongside your product analytics and session replays, enabling deeper correlation between system behavior and user activity.

What it does

Configures Datadog Agents to forward logs to PostHog
Provides the specific ingestion endpoint for Datadog-formatted logs
Offers guidance on using environment variables for secure token management
Supports integration with existing Datadog log exporters
Enables verification of log flow into the PostHog interface

When to use it

When you want to consolidate system logs into your PostHog project
When you are already using Datadog log exporters and want to add PostHog as a destination
When you need to correlate backend system logs with frontend user sessions
When you want to leverage PostHog's log search and analysis features

Advantages

Minimal configuration changes required for existing Datadog setups
Centralizes logs alongside product analytics and session replays
Maintains compatibility with standard Datadog log formats
Uses secure environment variable-based authentication

Usage examples

“How do I point my Datadog agent to PostHog?”: You will be guided to set the DD_LOGS_CONFIG_LOGS_DD_URL environment variable to the PostHog Datadog-compatible endpoint using your project token.
“Where do I find my project token for log ingestion?”: The skill directs you to your PostHog Project Settings to retrieve your project token (starting with phc_).

Key principles

Environment variables: Always use environment variables for PostHog keys and OpenTelemetry endpoints. Never hardcode them.
Minimal changes: Add log export alongside existing logging. Don't replace or restructure existing logging code.
OpenTelemetry: PostHog logs use the OpenTelemetry protocol. Configure an OTLP exporter pointed at PostHog's ingest endpoint.
Structured logging: Prefer structured log formats with key-value properties over plain text messages.

Framework guidelines

No specific framework guidelines.
