Proxy for logs collection with NGINX

There is also another workaround I saw in a trello ticket:

You can use a workaround using another agent installed on your proxy server.
In the Internet-facing agent (the one on the proxy server), you would need the following in the config file your_service.d/conf.yaml

  logs:
    - type: tcp
      port: 10516
      service: service_name
      source: source_name
      log_processing_rules:
        - type: mask_sequences
          name: mask_apikey
          replace_placeholder: "[apikey]"
          ## redact the API key
          pattern: (?:^\w+)

In the internal agent, you would need the following in the config file /etc/datadog-agent/datadog.yaml to forward logs to the proxy server agent:

logs_config:
  dd_url: myProxyServer.myDomain
  dd_port: 10516
  dev_mode_no_ssl: true
