The skill

Adds PostHog log ingestion to Datadog-instrumented applications by configuring an OpenTelemetry (OTLP) exporter that sends structured logs to PostHog, using environment variables for keys and endpoints. Use when a user asks to send Datadog logs to PostHog, set up PostHog logs or OTLP log export, search or troubleshoot PostHog logs, or link logs to session replay.

Key principles

  • Environment variables: Always use environment variables for PostHog keys and OpenTelemetry endpoints. Never hardcode them.
  • Minimal changes: Add log export alongside existing logging. Don't replace or restructure existing logging code.
  • OpenTelemetry: PostHog logs use the OpenTelemetry protocol. Configure an OTLP exporter pointed at PostHog's ingest endpoint.
  • Structured logging: Prefer structured log formats with key-value properties over plain text messages.
