Compute@Edge log streaming: DigitalOcean Spaces

Fastly's Real-Time Log Streaming feature for Compute@Edge services can send log files to DigitalOcean Spaces. DigitalOcean Spaces is an Amazon S3-compatible static file storage service used by developers and IT teams.

Prerequisites

Before adding DigitalOcean Spaces as a logging endpoint for Fastly Compute@Edge services, you'll need to create a DigitalOcean account if you don't already have one. Then you'll need to create a space with private access permissions on DigitalOcean's website, generate a secret key and an access key, and make a note of the endpoint.

Adding DigitalOcean Spaces as a logging endpoint

After you've created a DigitalOcean Space, follow these instructions to add DigitalOcean Spaces as a logging endpoint:

1. Review the information in our guide to setting up remote log streaming for Compute@Edge. Additionally, our developer documentation provides more information about logging with Compute@Edge code written in Rust, AssemblyScript, and JavaScript.
2. Click the Spaces by DigitalOcean Create endpoint button. The Create a DigitalOcean endpoint page appears.
3. Fill out the Create a DigitalOcean endpoint fields as follows:
   • In the Name field, enter the endpoint name you specified in your Compute@Edge code. For example, in our Rust code example, the name is my_endpoint_name.
   • In the Timestamp format field, optionally enter a timestamp format for log files. The default is an strftime compatible string. Our guide on changing where log files are written provides more information.
   • In the Space name field, enter the name of the DigitalOcean Space in which to store the logs.
   • In the Access key field, enter the access key associated with the DigitalOcean Space. See the DigitalOcean Spaces Authentication Guide for more information.
   • In the Secret key field, enter the secret key associated with the DigitalOcean Space.
   • In the Period field, optionally enter an interval (in seconds) to control how frequently your log files are rotated. Rotation entails the finalization of one file object and the start of a new one, never removing any previously created file object. This value defaults to 3600 seconds.
4. Click the Advanced options link of the Create a DigitalOcean endpoint page and decide which of the optional fields to change, if any.
5. Fill out the Advanced options of the Create a DigitalOcean endpoint page as follows:
   • In the Path field, optionally enter the path within the bucket to store the files. The path ends with a trailing slash. If this field is left empty, the files will be saved in the bucket's root path. Our guide on changing where log files are written provides more information.
   • In the Domain field, enter the region-specific endpoint for your domain. In most cases, this should be nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com. If the DigitalOcean Space was not created in the nyc3 region, refer to DigitalOcean's documentation to find the correct domain.
   • In the PGP public key field, optionally enter a PGP public key that Fastly will use to encrypt your log files before writing them to disk. You will only be able to read the contents by decrypting them with your private key. The PGP key should be in PEM (Privacy-Enhanced Mail) format. Read our guide on log encryption for more information.
   • In the Select a log line format area, select the log line format for your log messages. Our guide on changing log line formats provides more information.
   • In the Compression field, optionally select the compression format you want applied to the log files. Our guide on changing log compression options provides more information.
6. Click the Create button to create the new logging endpoint.
7. Click the Activate button to deploy your configuration changes.
