This feature is available as an add-on for the Honeycomb Enterprise plan. Please contact your Honeycomb account team for details.

​
Prerequisites

The log source should be able to send its logs to an endpoint, commonly called “LogPush”. The log source should also be able to reach the agent over the network, so any firewall rules must be adjusted to allow TCP and HTTP traffic to flow to the configured IP address and port.

​
Request Format

The request body should be JSON for requests made to the HTTP log receiver.
