Configure HTTP Source for Logs, Metrics, Traces, OTLP

An HTTP Source is an endpoint for receiving logs, metrics, traces, and OTLP data uploaded to a unique URL generated for the Source. The URL securely encodes the Collector and Source information. You can add as many HTTP Sources as you'd like to a single Hosted Collector.

In this section, we'll introduce the following concepts:

📄️ Configure for Logs and Metrics

An HTTP Source is an endpoint for receiving logs and metrics, uploaded via a URL.

📄️ Upload Logs to HTTP Source

After you have added an HTTP Logs and Metrics Source to a Hosted Collector you can begin uploading data. You can upload both logs and metrics to the same HTTP source, however not in the same HTTP request. This document provides instructions on uploading logs, if you are uploading metrics see Upload Metrics to an HTTP Source.

📄️ Upload Metrics HTTP Source

After you have added an HTTP Logs and Metrics Source to a Hosted Collector you can begin uploading data. You can upload both logs and metrics to the same HTTP source, however not in the same HTTP request. This document provides instructions on uploading metrics, if you are uploading logs see Upload Logs to an HTTP Source.

📄️ Generate HTTP Source URL

You can generate a new URL for an HTTP Source at any time. Generating a new URL completely invalidates the old URL.

📄️ Troubleshooting

Check HTTP status codes

📄️ Configure for Traces

An HTTP Traces Source is an endpoint for receiving traces.

📄️ Configure for OpenTelemetry

Use an HTTP OTLP Source to collect OTLP formatted Logs, Metrics, and Traces data.
