  title: Datadog Logs API
  description: >-
    The Datadog Logs API allows you to search and send log events to the
    Datadog platform over HTTP. It supports querying and aggregating log
    data from the Log Management product. Logs can be searched using
    Datadog's log query language, and results can be aggregated using
    facets and measures. The API also supports managing log indexes, which
    control how long logs are retained and queried.

      summary: Datadog Send Logs
      description: >-
        Sends log entries to the Datadog platform for indexing, storage, and
        analysis. Accepts log payloads in JSON format. Each log entry can
        include a message, hostname, service name, source, tags, and
        additional custom attributes. Supports batching multiple log entries
        in a single request. The maximum payload size is 5 MB for the HTTP
        intake endpoint. Logs must contain a message field.
