Custom log format for DO App Platform

Posted on November 20, 2024
Logging App Platform
Asked by Peeyush Aggarwal

I have a django DRF application where I have defined a custom log formamtter in JSON format for easy filtering of data.

I can see the logs getting generated in this format on the DO console. However, the logs are not getting synced to Logtail.

I am not sure if there is an issue with the setup or some configuration. Do we have some resources on how to accomplish this?

Hey,

This is quite interesting, was the log forwarding to Logtail working before you made the log format change? It sounds like that it might be an issue with the way the Logtail forwarding is configured rather than the format itself.

Can you confirm that you’ve followed all of the steps from the Logtail docs here:

https://betterstack.com/docs/logs/digital-ocean-apps/

If you’ve done all that all that already and the log forwarding was working before changing the format, it might be worth reaching out to the DigitalOcean support team who might be able to further investigate this for you:
