How do I configure logforwarding to Datadog for a DOC app

Logging DigitalOcean App Platform Go
Asked by Jonas Brømsø

I have added two log forward destinations for a sample-app (fork) in Go based on the DOC example.

The PaperTrail one works, but I cannot get the Datadog destination to work and the DOC documentation is a bit sparse.

I have added an API key, but on the DataDog side I need to do some configuration as well, but I cannot deduct how the DOC app integrates and present itself and DOC is not listed as an option.

The documentation mentions: http-intake.logs.datadoghq.com

But my Datadog plan is EU based - is that the problem?

http-intake.logs.datadoghq.eu instead of http-intake.logs.datadoghq.com
