## Log Indexes Configuration

### Index Filtering

Indexes use queries to filter which logs to include:

**By Environment**:
```
env:production
```

**By Service**:
```
service:api OR service:web
```

**Complex Filter**:
```
env:production AND (team:platform OR team:sre) AND -status:debug
```

### Retention Periods

Supported retention periods (in days):
- 3, 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 180, 360

Choose based on:
- Compliance requirements
- Cost considerations
- Query frequency

### Exclusion Filters

Exclude logs from indexing while keeping in archives:

**Exclude Debug Logs**:
```json
{
  "name": "Exclude debug logs",
  "is_enabled": true,
  "filter": {
    "query": "status:debug",
    "sample_rate": 1.0
  }
}
```

**Sample Info Logs**:
```json
{
  "name": "Sample info logs at 10%",
  "is_enabled": true,
  "filter": {
    "query": "status:info",
    "sample_rate": 0.1
  }
}
```

**Sample Rate**:
- 0.0: Exclude none (keep all)
- 0.1: Keep 10%, exclude 90%
- 0.5: Keep 50%, exclude 50%
- 1.0: Exclude all matching logs

### Daily Limit

Set maximum daily indexed volume (in bytes):

```json
{
  "daily_limit": 1000000000  // 1 GB per day
}
```

When limit reached:
- Additional logs not indexed
- Logs still sent to archives
- Limit resets daily at midnight UTC

### Index Order Priority

Indexes evaluated in order:
1. First matching index receives the log
2. Logs can only go to one index
3. Order determines priority

**Best Practice**:
- Most specific indexes first
- General/catch-all indexes last
- Critical logs in high-priority indexes

## Custom Destinations Configuration

### Destination Types

#### HTTP Endpoint
Generic HTTP endpoint for log forwarding:

**Authentication Options**:
1. **Basic Auth**: Username/password
2. **Custom Header**: Custom header key/value

**Requirements**:
- HTTPS endpoint
- Cannot forward back to Datadog

#### Splunk HEC
Splunk HTTP Event Collector:

**Requirements**:
- Splunk HEC endpoint
- HEC token with write permissions
- HEC input configured in Splunk

**Format**: Logs forwarded in Splunk-compatible JSON

#### Elasticsearch
Forward logs to Elasticsearch cluster:

**Requirements**:
- Elasticsearch endpoint (HTTPS)
- Credentials with index write permissions
- Index name or pattern

**Index Rotation**:
- `none`: Single static index
- `date`: Daily index rotation (index-YYYY-MM-DD)
- `month`: Monthly index rotation (index-YYYY-MM)
- `year`: Yearly index rotation (index-YYYY)

#### Microsoft Sentinel
Forward logs to Azure Sentinel:

**Requirements**:
- Data Collection Endpoint (DCE)
- Data Collection Rule (DCR) Immutable ID
- Table name in Log Analytics workspace

**Format**: Logs forwarded in Azure Monitor format

### Tag Forwarding

Control which tags are forwarded:

**Allow List** (Only include specific tags):
```json
{
  "forward_tags": true,
  "forward_tags_restriction_list": ["env", "service", "version"],
  "forward_tags_restriction_list_type": "ALLOW_LIST"
}
```

**Block List** (Exclude specific tags):
```json
{
  "forward_tags": true,
  "forward_tags_restriction_list": ["internal_id", "secret"],
  "forward_tags_restriction_list_type": "BLOCK_LIST"
}
```

### Logs Restriction Queries (RBAC)

Control access to logs based on queries assigned to roles. This enables role-based access control (RBAC) for log data.

#### List Restriction Queries
```bash
pup logs-restriction-queries list
```

With pagination:
```bash
pup logs-restriction-queries list \
  --page-size=50 \

```bash
pup logs-restriction-queries create \
  --query="env:production"
```

Restrict by service:

### Logs RBAC Query Language

Restriction queries use Datadog's standard log query syntax:

**Reserved Attributes**:
- `env` - Environment
- `service` - Service name
- `source` - Log source
- `status` - Log status

**Tags**:
- `team:platform`
- `app:web-frontend`
- `region:us-east-1`

**Query Examples**:

**By Environment**:
```
env:production
```

**By Service**:
```
service:api OR service:web
```

**By Team Tag**:
```
team:platform
```

**By Multiple Teams**:
```
team:platform OR team:sre OR team:data
```

**Environment and Team**:
```
env:production AND team:platform
```

**Exclude Specific Service**:
```
env:production AND -service:internal
```

**By Region**:
```
region:us-east-1 OR region:us-west-2
```

**Complex Multi-Criteria**:
```
(env:production OR env:staging) AND (team:platform OR team:sre)
```

### Logs RBAC Workflow

1. **Create Restriction Query**: Define what logs users can see
2. **Grant Role**: Assign role to restriction query
3. **Assign Users**: Add users to the role
4. **Grant Permission**: Role needs `logs_read_data` permission (granted automatically)
5. **Verification**: Users can only see logs matching their restriction queries

### Logs RBAC Behavior

- Users with multiple restriction queries can see logs matching ANY query (OR logic)
- Users without restriction queries can see all logs (if they have logs_read_data permission)
- Restriction queries affect ALL log features: Explorer, Live Tail, rehydration, dashboards
- Queries are evaluated in real-time for every log request

## Order and Priority

### Archive Order
- Archives evaluated in order
- First matching archive receives the log
- Logs can go to multiple archives if queries overlap

### Pipeline Order
- Pipelines evaluated in order
- First matching pipeline processes the log
- Log can match multiple pipelines

### Index Order
- Indexes evaluated in order
- First matching index receives the log
- **Logs only go to ONE index**

## Permission Model

### READ Operations (Automatic)
- Listing archives, pipelines, indexes, destinations
- Getting specific configuration
- Getting order configuration

These operations execute automatically without prompting.

### WRITE Operations (Confirmation Required)
- Creating archives, pipelines, indexes, destinations
- Updating configuration
- Updating order

These operations will display a warning and require user awareness before execution.

### DELETE Operations (Explicit Confirmation Required)
- Deleting archives
- Deleting pipelines
- Deleting indexes (permanent, cannot recreate)
- Deleting custom destinations

These operations require explicit confirmation with impact warnings.

## Response Formatting

Present log configuration data in clear, user-friendly formats:

**For archives**: Display destination type, query filter, and rehydration config
**For pipelines**: Show processor types, order, and filter queries
**For indexes**: Present retention, exclusion filters, and daily limits
**For custom destinations**: Display destination type, endpoint, and authentication method
**For errors**: Provide clear, actionable error messages with configuration context

## Error Handling

### Common Errors and Solutions

**Missing Credentials**:
```
Error: DD_API_KEY environment variable is required
```
→ Set environment variables: `export DD_API_KEY="..." DD_APP_KEY="..."`

**Insufficient Permissions**:
```
Error: Permission denied - requires logs_write_archives
```
→ Ensure API keys have appropriate permissions
→ Contact admin to grant required permissions

**Archive Destination Not Configured**:
```
Error: IAM role not found
```
→ Configure IAM role in AWS with proper permissions
→ Add Datadog AWS account as trusted entity
→ Provide correct role ARN

**Invalid Query Syntax**:
```
Error: Invalid filter query
```
→ Use valid Datadog log query syntax
→ Test query in Log Explorer first
→ Check for typos in attribute names

**Index Name Conflict**:
```
Error: Index name already exists
```
→ Choose unique index name
→ Cannot reuse name of deleted index

**Pipeline Processor Error**:
```
Error: Invalid grok pattern
```
→ Test grok pattern with sample logs
→ Use valid grok syntax and patterns
→ Check for proper escaping

**Retention Period Invalid**:
```
Error: Invalid retention period
```
→ Use supported retention periods: 3, 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 180, 360 days

**Daily Limit Exceeded**:
```
Warning: Index daily limit reached
```
→ Logs not indexed but still archived
→ Increase daily limit or optimize log volume
→ Use exclusion filters to reduce volume

**Custom Destination Endpoint Error**:
```
Error: Cannot connect to endpoint
```
→ Verify endpoint is accessible from Datadog
→ Check authentication credentials
→ Ensure HTTPS endpoint (HTTP not supported)
→ Verify firewall/network rules

**Order Conflict**:
```
Error: Duplicate IDs in order
```
→ Each ID must appear exactly once in order list
→ Get current order first, then modify

## Best Practices

### Log Archives
1. **Multiple Archives**: Create separate archives for different log types/environments
2. **Storage Classes**: Use appropriate S3 storage class for cost optimization
3. **Include Tags**: Enable if you need to filter by tags during rehydration
4. **Rehydration Tags**: Add identifying tags for rehydrated logs
5. **Max Scan Size**: Set reasonable limits to control rehydration costs
6. **Archive Order**: Most specific queries first

### Log Pipelines
1. **Pipeline Organization**: Create separate pipelines per log source
2. **Filter Specificity**: Use specific filter queries to avoid unnecessary processing
3. **Processor Order**: Order processors logically (parse → extract → enrich)
4. **Grok Performance**: Keep grok patterns simple and efficient
5. **Testing**: Test pipelines with sample logs before deploying
6. **Nested Pipelines**: Use for complex multi-step processing
7. **Disable Unused**: Disable processors/pipelines not in use

### Log Indexes
1. **Index Strategy**: Create indexes by environment, team, or criticality
2. **Retention Planning**: Match retention to compliance and query needs
3. **Exclusion Filters**: Exclude high-volume low-value logs
4. **Sample Rates**: Use sampling to reduce volume of verbose logs
5. **Daily Limits**: Set limits to prevent runaway costs
6. **Index Order**: Critical logs in high-priority indexes
7. **Regular Review**: Audit index configuration quarterly

### Custom Destinations
1. **Query Filtering**: Forward only necessary logs to reduce costs
2. **Tag Management**: Use allow/block lists to control forwarded metadata
3. **Endpoint Monitoring**: Monitor destination availability
4. **Authentication**: Use secure authentication methods
5. **Format Compatibility**: Ensure destination can parse Datadog format
6. **Rate Limits**: Consider destination rate limits
7. **Cost Awareness**: Monitor forwarding volume and costs
