Overview

Connect Datadog with your Cloudflare account to see your web traffic and DNS metrics.

Setup

Installation

Install the integration with the Datadog Cloudflare integration tile.

Configuration

1. Go to the configuration tab inside the Datadog Cloudflare integration tile.
2. Enter the email addresses and API Keys or Token of the accounts you want to monitor. Your Cloudflare API Keys and API Tokens are available in your Cloudflare account under My profile > Api Tokens.
3. Add a name for the account. This name is arbitrary and used in the account tag on your metrics.

When using an API token, please make sure it has the following permissions:

• Zone > Zone > Read
• Zone > Analytics > Read

Log collection

Cloudflare allows customers to push logs directly into Datadog using Cloudflare Logpush.

1. Create a Logpush job by making a POST request to the Logpush jobs endpoint. Include the following fields:

   • name (optional): Use your domain name as the job name.
   • destination_conf: A log destination consisting of the following parameters:
     • <DATADOG_ENDPOINT_URL>: The Datadog HTTP logs intake endpoint. Your endpoint is http-intake.logs./v1/input
     • <DATADOG_API_KEY>: Your Datadog API key.
     • ddsource: Set to cloudflare.
     • service (optional): Specify service name.
     • host (optional): Specify host name.
     • ddtags (optional): Specify tags.
   • dataset: The category of logs you want to receive. See the Cloudflare documentation for a full list of supported datasets.
   • logpull_options (optional): To configure fields, sample rate, and timestamp format, see the Logpush API options.

   Example request:

   curl -s -X POST 'https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/<ZONE_ID>/logpush/jobs' \
   --header 'X-Auth-Key: <CLOUDFLARE_AUTH_KEY>' \
   --header 'X-Auth-Email: <CLOUDFLARE_AUTH_EMAIL>' \
   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   --data-raw '{
      "name": "<NAME>",
      "destination_conf": "datadog://<DATADOG_ENDPOINT_URL>?header_DD-API-KEY=<DATADOG_API_KEY>&ddsource=cloudflare&service=cloudflare&ddtags=env:dev",
      "logpull_options": "fields=RayID,EdgeStartTimestamp&timestamps=rfc3339",
      "dataset": "http_requests"
   }'
   

   Example response:

   {
    "errors": [],
    "messages": [],
    "result": {
      "id": 100,
      "dataset": "http_requests",
      "enabled": false,
      "name": "<DOMAIN_NAME>",
      "logpull_options": "fields=RayID,EdgeStartTimestamp&timestamps=rfc3339",
      "destination_conf": "datadog://http-intake.logs.datadoghq.com/v1/input?header_DD-API-KEY=<DD-API-KEY>&ddsource=cloudflare&service=cloudflare&ddtags=env:dev",
      "last_complete": null,
      "last_error": null,
      "error_message": null
    },
    "success": true
   }
   

   Take note of the value of id. In the example above, it is 100.

2. Enable the job. Use the job ID returned in the response and send {"enabled": true} in the request body.

   Example request:

   curl -s -X PUT \
   https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/<ZONE_ID>/logpush/jobs/<JOB_ID> -d'{"enabled":true}' | jq .
   

   Example response:

   {
     "errors": [],
     "messages": [],
     "result": {
       "id": 100,
       "dataset": "http_requests",
       "enabled": true,
       "name": "<DOMAIN_NAME>",
       "logpull_options": "fields=RayID,EdgeStartTimestamp&timestamps=rfc3339",
       "destination_conf": "datadog://<DATADOG-ENDPOINT-URL>?header_DD-API-KEY=<DATADOG-API-KEY>",
       "last_complete": null,
       "last_error": null,
       "error_message": null
     },
     "success": true
   }
