Target Audience

This workflow is ideal for:
- Developers and Engineers: Who need to log application events or errors efficiently.
- DevOps Teams: Looking to integrate logging mechanisms into their CI/CD pipelines.
- Product Managers: Who want to monitor application performance and user interactions through logs.
- Data Analysts: Interested in analyzing log data for insights and reporting purposes.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of efficiently sending log messages to BetterStack for monitoring and analysis. It automates the process of logging, ensuring that important events and errors are captured in real-time without manual intervention.

Workflow Steps

  • Manual Trigger: The workflow starts with a manual trigger, allowing users to initiate the logging process whenever needed.
    2. Execute Workflow: Upon triggering, it sends a test log message with predefined values (level: error, message: This is a test log message) to the next node.
    3. Receive Log Message: The workflow listens for incoming log messages from other workflows, enabling integration with various applications.
    4. Send Log to BetterStack: Finally, the log message is sent via a POST request to the BetterStack endpoint, using HTTP header authentication. This ensures secure transmission of log data.

    • Customization Guide

    To customize this workflow:
    - Modify Log Messages: Change the values of level and message in the Send test log message node to fit your specific logging needs.
    - Update BetterStack Endpoint: In the Send Log to BetterStack node, set your specific BetterStack Logs endpoint URL to ensure logs are sent to the correct destination.
    - Adjust Authentication: Replace the Authorization token in the HTTP Request node with your own Bearer token to authenticate properly with BetterStack.
    - Add Additional Nodes: You can integrate more nodes to handle different log types or to process logs before sending them.
