HTTP Receiver

This receiver is capable of collecting logs for a variety of services, serving as a default HTTP log receiver. Anything that is able to send JSON structured logs to an endpoint using HTTP will be able to utilize this receiver.

Minimum Agent Versions

Supported Pipelines

  • Logs

How It Works

  1. The user configures this receiver in a pipeline.
  2. The user configures a supported component to route telemetry from this receiver.

Prerequisites

  • The log source can be configured to send logs to an endpoint using HTTP
  • The logs sent by the log source are JSON structured

Configuration

Field Type Default Required Description
endpoint string true The hostname and port the receiver should listen on for logs being sent as HTTP POST requests.
path string false Specifies a path the receiver should be listening to for logs. Useful when the log source also sends other data to the endpoint, such as metrics.
tls.key_file string false Configure the receiver to use TLS.
tls.cert_file string false Configure the receiver to use TLS.

Example Configuration

receivers:
  http:
    endpoint: "localhost:12345"
    path: "/api/v2/logs"
exporters:
  googlecloud:
    project: my-gcp-project

service:
  pipelines:
    logs:
      receivers: [http]
      exporters: [googlecloud]

Example Configuration With TLS

receivers:
  http:
    endpoint: "0.0.0.0:12345"
    path: "/logs"
    tls:
      key_file: "certs/server.key"
      cert_file: "certs/server.crt"
exporters:
  googlecloud:
    project: my-gcp-project

service:
  pipelines:
    logs:
      receivers: [http]
      exporters: [googlecloud]
