Post multiple logs to DataDog with 1 HTTP request - http

Question

I want to post multiple logs to DataDog from a JS function, using a single HTTP request. Looking at the v2 docs for DataDog's 'send logs' POST endpoint, it sounds like this is possible:
For a single log request, the API ... For a multi-logs request, the API ...
But it's not clear to me from the docs how to actually send a 'multi-logs' request. I've tried the following:
const dataDogEndpoint = 'https://http-intake.logs.datadoghq.com/api/v2/logs';
const body = {
ddtags: 'env:production,status:info',
hostname: 'my-host',
message: ['My first production log.', 'My second production log.'],
service: 'my-service'
};
const response = await fetch(dataDogEndpoint, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'DD-API-KEY': apiKey
},
body: JSON.stringify(body)
});
Perhaps unsurprisingly, this appears in DataDog as a single log with the following content:
[My first production log., My second production log.]
How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

Got it - this can be achieved by adding multiple log objects to the body like so:
const dataDogEndpoint = 'https://http-intake.logs.datadoghq.com/api/v2/logs';
const body = [{
ddtags: 'env:production,status:info',
hostname: 'my-host',
message: 'My first production log.',
service: 'my-service'
},{
ddtags: 'env:production,status:info',
hostname: 'my-host',
message: 'My second production log.',
service: 'my-service'
}];
const response = await fetch(dataDogEndpoint, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'DD-API-KEY': apiKey
},
body: JSON.stringify(body)
});
(You'll probably want a loop instead of instantiating each log object separately.)
