To get started, click the button below and fill in the form on Azure Portal. The Azure resources required to get activity logs streaming into your Datadog account will be deployed for you. To forward Activity Logs, set the Send Activity Logs option to true.

Azure platform logs

After the template deployment finishes, set up diagnostic settings for each log source to send Azure platform logs (including resource logs) to the Event Hub created during deployment.

Note: Resources can only stream to Event Hubs in the same Azure region.

If you run into any problems during deployment, see Automated log collection for common error cases.

Datadog recommends using the Event Hub setup for Azure log collection. However, you can also follow the steps in this section to forward all of your Azure App Services logs from Azure Blob Storage:

1. If you haven’t already set up Azure Blob Storage, use one of the following methods to get started:
   • Azure portal
   • Azure Storage Explorer
   • Azure CLI
   • PowerShell
2. Set up the Datadog-Azure Function to forward logs from Blob Storage using the instructions below.
3. Configure your Azure App Services to forward their logs to Blob Storage.

Create a function app

If you already have a function app configured for this purpose, skip to Add a new function to your Function App using the Event Hub trigger template.

1. In the Azure portal, navigate to the Function App overview and click Create.
2. In the Instance Details section, configure the following settings:
   a. Select the Code radio button
   b. For Runtime stack, select Node.js
   c. For Version, select 18 LTS.
   d. For Operating System, select Windows.
3. Configure other settings as desired.
4. Click Review + create to validate the resource. If validation is successful, click Create.

Add a new function to your Function App using the Azure Blob Storage trigger template

1. Select your new or existing function app from the Function App overview.
2. Under the Functions tab, click Create.
3. For the Development environment field, select Develop in portal.
4. Under Select a template, choose Azure Blob storage trigger.
5. Select your Storage account connection. Note: See Configure a connection string for an Azure storage account for more information.
6. Click Create.

See Getting started with Azure Functions for more information.

Point your Blob Storage trigger to Datadog

1. On the detail page of your Event Hub trigger function, click Code + Test under the Developer side menu.
2. Add the Datadog-Azure Function code to the function’s index.js file.
3. Add your Datadog API key with a DD_API_KEY environment variable, or copy it into the function code by replacing <DATADOG_API_KEY> on line 20.
4. If you’re not using the Datadog US1 site, set your Datadog site with a DD_SITE environment variable under the configuration tab of your function app, or copy the site parameter into the function code on line 21.
5. Save the function.
6. Click Integration under the Developer side menu.
7. Click Azure Blob Storage under Trigger and inputs.
8. Set the Blob Parameter Name to blobContent and click Save.
9. Verify your setup is correct by checking the Datadog Log Explorer for logs from this resource.
