How to Forward Logs Externally

If you want to forward your logs to another service such as Logflare, Timber or PaperTrail, you’ll need to set up a log drain. We support HTTPS and syslog drains. To create a log drain, run

gigalixir drains:add $URL
# e.g. gigalixir drains:add https://api.logflare.app/logs/logplex?api_key=$API_KEY&source=$SOURCE_ID
# e.g. gigalixir drains:add https://user:$TIMBER_API_KEY@logs.timber.io/sources/$TIMBER_SOURCE_ID/frames
# e.g. gigalixir drains:add syslog+tls://logs123.papertrailapp.com:12345

To show all your drains, run

gigalixir drains

To delete a drain, run

gigalixir drains:remove $DRAIN_ID
