Use Observability Pipelines’ CloudPrem destination to send logs to Datadog CloudPrem.

Prerequisites

Before configuring the destination, you need to deploy a CloudPrem cluster. Learn how to install it in the CloudPrem installation section.

Setup

Set up the CloudPrem destination and its environment variables when you set up a pipeline.

Set up the destination

Optionally, toggle the switch to enable Buffering Options (Preview).
Note: Contact your account manager to request access.

• If disabled (default): Up to 500 events are buffered before flush.
• If enabled:
  1. Select the buffer type you want to set.
     • Memory: Fast, limited by RAM
     • Buffer size: Durable, survives restarts
  2. Enter the buffer size and select the unit.
     • Maximum capacity in MB or GB.

Set the environment variables

• CloudPrem endpoint URL
  • Observability Pipelines sends logs to the CloudPrem intake endpoint. Define the cluster URL, such as http://cloudprem.acme.internal:7280. Note: The URL must include the port.
  • The Worker appends /api/v2/logs and /api/v1/validate to the endpoint URL, so these endpoints must be allowed if you are using forwarding or firewall rules.
  • Stored as the environment variable: DD_OP_DESTINATION_CLOUDPREM_ENDPOINT_URL.

How the destination works

Event batching

A batch of events is flushed when one of these parameters is met. See event batching for more information.
