loki.source.heroku
loki.source.heroku
listens for Heroku messages over TCP connections
and forwards them to other loki.*
components.
The component starts a new heroku listener for the given listener
block and fans out incoming entries to the list of receivers in forward_to
.
Before using loki.source.heroku
, Heroku should be configured with the URL where the Agent will be listening. Follow the steps in Heroku HTTPS Drain docs for using the Heroku CLI with a command like the following:
heroku drains:add [http|https]://HOSTNAME:PORT/heroku/api/v1/drain -a HEROKU_APP_NAME
Multiple loki.source.heroku
components can be specified by giving them
different labels.
Usage
loki.source.heroku "LABEL" {
listener {
address = "LISTEN_ADDRESS"
port = PORT
}
forward_to = RECEIVER_LIST
}
Arguments
loki.source.heroku
supports the following arguments:
Name | Type | Description | Default | Required |
---|---|---|---|---|
use_incoming_timestamp | bool | Whether or not to use the timestamp received from Heroku. | false | no |
labels | map(string) | The labels to associate with each received Heroku record. | {} | no |
forward_to | list(LogsReceiver) | List of receivers to send log entries to. | yes | |
relabel_rules | RelabelRules | Relabeling rules to apply on log entries. | {} | no |
The relabel_rules
field can make use of the rules
export value from a
loki.relabel
component to apply one or more relabeling rules to log entries
before they’re forwarded to the list of receivers in forward_to
.
Blocks
The following blocks are supported inside the definition of loki.source.heroku
:
Hierarchy | Name | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
listener | listener | Configures a listener for Heroku messages. | yes |
listener block
The listener
block defines the listen address and port where the listener
expects Heroku messages to be sent to.
Name | Type | Description | Default | Required |
---|---|---|---|---|
address | string | The <host> address to listen to for heroku messages. | 0.0.0.0 | no |
port | int | The <port> to listen to for heroku messages. | yes |
Labels
The labels
map is applied to every message that the component reads.
The following internal labels all prefixed with __
are available but will be discarded if not relabeled:
__heroku_drain_host
__heroku_drain_app
__heroku_drain_proc
__heroku_drain_log_id
All url query params will be translated to __heroku_drain_param_<name>
If the X-Scope-OrgID
header is set it will be translated to __tenant_id__
Exported fields
loki.source.heroku
does not export any fields.
Component health
loki.source.heroku
is only reported as unhealthy if given an invalid
configuration.
Debug information
loki.source.heroku
exposes some debug information per Heroku listener:
- Whether the listener is currently running.
- The listen address.
Debug metrics
loki_source_heroku_drain_entries_total
(counter): Number of successful entries received by the Heroku target.loki_source_heroku_drain_parsing_errors_total
(counter): Number of parsing errors while receiving Heroku messages.
Example
This example listens for Heroku messages over TCP in the specified port and forwards them to a loki.write
component using the Heroku timestamp.
loki.source.heroku "local" {
listener {
address = "0.0.0.0"
port = 8080
}
use_incoming_timestamp = true
labels = {component = "loki.source.heroku"}
forward_to = [loki.write.local.receiver]
}
loki.write "local" {
endpoint {
url = "loki:3100/api/v1/push"
}
}
