Seamlessly Send Logs to BetterStack with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Automate the process of sending your application logs directly to BetterStack. This n8n workflow simplifies log management by capturing messages and levels for efficient monitoring and analysis.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow streamlines your log management by enabling you to send log entries to BetterStack Logs. Designed for flexibility, it can be utilized as a standalone solution for testing and quick integrations or as a reusable component within larger automation frameworks. The workflow receives log messages and their severity levels from another workflow or via a manual trigger, then formats this data into a JSON payload for submission to your BetterStack endpoint. It ensures that critical log information is captured and centralized for enhanced observability.
This workflow is perfect for developers and DevOps teams looking to centralize their logging infrastructure. By leveraging n8n's visual automation capabilities, you can easily set up this integration without extensive coding, improving your ability to monitor application health and troubleshoot issues.
Key Features
- Direct BetterStack Integration: Seamlessly send log messages and their levels to BetterStack Logs via HTTP POST requests.
- Flexible Triggering: Can be triggered manually for testing or as a sub-workflow invoked by other n8n workflows.
- Customizable Log Data: Easily configure the log message and level sent to BetterStack.
- Clear Usage Instructions: Includes sticky notes with guidance on how to use and configure the workflow.
How To Use
- Set Up BetterStack Endpoint: In the "Send Log to BetterStack" node (an
httpRequestnode), update the HTTP Request URL to your specific BetterStack Logs ingestion endpoint. - Configure Authentication: Navigate to the "Credentials" section of the "Send Log to BetterStack" node. Set up your
httpHeaderAuthwith your BetterStack API token (e.g.,Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN). - Define Inputs (for sub-workflow use): If you plan to use this from another workflow, ensure the "Recieve log message" node is configured to accept
levelandmessageas inputs. - Triggering: For testing, use the "Test workflow" (a
manualTriggernode) which calls the "Send test log message" node. To use as a sub-workflow, call it from another n8n workflow using the "Execute Workflow" node and providelevelandmessageas inputs.
