To send logs from Observability Pipelines to Datadog using AWS PrivateLink, see Connect to Datadog over AWS PrivateLink for setup instructions. The two endpoints you need to set up are:

  • Logs (User HTTP intake): http-intake.logs.datadoghq.com
  • Remote Configuration: config.datadoghq.com

Notes:

  • If you are a PCI-compliant organization, the Worker sends logs over http-intake-pci.logs.datadoghq.com, which is not available as an AWS PrivateLink endpoint.
  • The obpipeline-intake.datadoghq.com endpoint is used for Live Capture and is not available as a PrivateLink endpoint.
