Send your first Render logs to Sazabi in 5 minutes
Render Quickstart
Get your Render service logs flowing to Sazabi in 5 minutes.
Render is available as a native data source that forwards logs into Sazabi. Sazabi does not offer Render as an external backend (Chat cannot query Render in place). Use the Sazabi backend for your project and connect Render as a data source so logs are stored in Sazabi.
Prerequisites
- Sazabi account
- A Sazabi project using the Sazabi backend (the default for new projects)
- A Render account with at least one service you want to monitor
- A Render API token and your Render Owner ID (see Render data source)
Step 1: Confirm your project uses the Sazabi backend
- Log in to Sazabi and open Settings > Projects
- Select your project (or create one with Backend set to Sazabi)
- Under project settings, ensure the backend is Sazabi, not an external platform
If you need to compare backends, see Backend configuration.
Step 2: Connect Render to Sazabi
Follow the full connection flow on the Render data source page. In short:
- Go to Settings > Data Sources
- Click Add Source and select Render
- Enter your API Token and Owner ID
- Choose the Render services to forward logs from
- Click Connect
Sazabi creates log streams and webhook endpoints for the services you selected.
Step 3: Verify logs are flowing
Generate activity on Render (for example, deploy or send traffic to a web service). Then in Sazabi:
- Open a chat thread
- Ask: "Show me recent Render logs" or "What errors appeared in my Render services in the last hour?"
You should see new logs within a few minutes after traffic or deploys.
Historical logs are not backfilled; only logs produced after the connection are available in Sazabi.
Troubleshooting
If logs are not appearing:
- Confirm the project backend is Sazabi and you completed the Render data source setup
- Verify your API token and Owner ID using Render data source troubleshooting
- Allow a few minutes for log streams to initialize after connecting
Next steps
- Read the full Render data source reference for credentials, service selection, and operational details
- Set up alerting to get notified about errors
- Create a chat thread to investigate issues
- Add more data sources to get a complete picture of your stack
