Hi Team,

My Customer ask if there is any way to stream log to Dynatrace Log Monitoring ? So their application is in Pivotal Cloud Foundry don't write the log to their local storage. And how to do it? I'm using dynatrace SaaS.

Thanks before.

Unfortunately, at this point Dynatrace supports only logs collected by the full stack agent. As a workaround you can stream those logs via syslog protocol to a host that writes them to a disk and then being collected by the agent.

You can also try to use the log streaming API / syslog (early adopter feature of the ActiveGate), however, logs will be bound with a new custom device. You cannot attach those log files to existing monitored processes.
