Gigalixir Log Drain

Your log data must not contain any personal data, such as names, email addresses, etc. It is your responsibility to ensure this data is filtered out before being sent to AppSignal, and when identifying a person is necessary that your application uses alternative forms of identification such as a user ID, hash, or pseudonym.

AppSignal can ingest logs via Gigalixir Log Drain. Gigalixir logs use the Plaintext format, you can find more information on formatting in our Log Formatting Documentation.

Check For Existing Log Drains

Before creating a new log drain for AppSignal, we recommend checking to see if a drain for AppSignal already exists. You can do so using the following command:

Shell
gigalixir drains

You can remove any log drain you wish using the below command:

Shell
gigalixir drains:remove LOG_DRAIN_ID

Replace LOG_DRAIN_ID the log drain ID you are trying to remove.

Add new log drain

Use the command below to create a new AppSignal log drain

Shell
gigalixir drains:add "https://appsignal-endpoint.net/gigalixir?api_key=YOUR_LOG_SOURCE_API_KEY"

Replace YOUR_LOG_SOURCE_API_KEY with the key provided when creating a log source.

When connected, logs should appear in AppSignal. If you still cannot see any logs, please contact us for support.
