Overview
Configure your platforms to send logs directly to Sazabi using OpenTelemetry, Datadog Agent, and other protocols.
Manual data sources give you full control over how logs reach Sazabi. You configure your platform or application to send logs directly to Sazabi's intake endpoints using standard protocols like OpenTelemetry or platform-specific agents.
How manual data sources work
With manual data sources, you manage the log forwarding configuration:
- Get your API key: Each Sazabi project has a public API key for authentication
- Configure forwarding: Point your platform's logging configuration to Sazabi's intake endpoint
- Start sending: Logs flow to Sazabi as your application produces them
This approach works with any platform that supports log forwarding. You have complete control over what data is sent and how it is formatted.
Available manual data sources
OpenTelemetry and observability protocols
OpenTelemetry (OTLP)
Send logs using the OpenTelemetry Protocol. Works with any OTEL-compatible SDK or collector.
Datadog Agent
Forward logs from the Datadog Agent to Sazabi while keeping your existing Datadog setup.
Sentry SDK
Send Sentry events and breadcrumbs to Sazabi for AI-powered analysis.
PostHog
Forward PostHog events to Sazabi for observability alongside your product analytics.
Platform-managed databases and backends
Edge and serverless platforms
Cloudflare
Send Workers and Pages logs to Sazabi using Cloudflare Logpush.
Netlify
Forward logs from Netlify Functions and builds.
Background job platforms
Inngest
Stream Inngest function logs and events for workflow observability.
Temporal
Forward Temporal workflow and activity logs for durable execution monitoring.
AI and agent frameworks
Mastra
Send logs from your Mastra AI agents and workflows.
LangChain
Forward LangChain traces and logs for LLM observability.
Development environments
Daytona
Stream logs from Daytona development environments.
E2B
Forward logs from E2B sandbox environments.
Hosting platforms
Manual vs native data sources
| Aspect | Manual | Native |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Configure in your platform | Point and click in Sazabi |
| Infrastructure | Self-managed | Managed by Sazabi |
| Control | Full control over forwarding | Select what to monitor |
| Best for | Custom requirements, existing pipelines | Quick setup, standard use cases |
Choose manual data sources when you need fine-grained control over log forwarding or when integrating with existing logging infrastructure. Choose native data sources when you want the fastest setup with managed infrastructure.
API keys
Manual data sources authenticate using your project's public API key. You can find and manage API keys in Settings > API Keys in the Sazabi dashboard.
Public API keys are designed for log ingestion and are safe to include in client-side code. They cannot be used to read data from Sazabi.
