Compute@Edge log streaming: Scalyr
Last updated 2022-05-10
Fastly's Real-Time Log Streaming feature for Compute@Edge services can send log files to Scalyr. Scalyr pulls all your server logs and metrics into a centralized, searchable system in real time.
NOTE
Fastly does not provide direct support for third-party services. Read Fastly's Terms of Service for more information.
Prerequisites
If you don't already have a Scalyr account, you'll need to register for one. Follow the signup instructions on the Scalyr website.
Once you've signed up, navigate to the API Keys area in the Settings on your Scalyr dashboard and make note of your Scalyr Write Token. Scalyr uses this to associate data you send them with your account. You'll need this token when you set up your endpoint with Fastly.
If you're adding the Scalyr endpoint via the command line, instead of the web interface, you should also have your Fastly API token and the service ID and version number of the Fastly service for which you'll be enabling Scalyr logging.
