What is the best way to forward all of my logs from a railway project (python app, redis, postgres, etc) to datadog?

What env vars did you set for locomotive?
the datadog specific vars would be -
are you having trouble with other vars?
What other env vars did you set?
besides those two, i set the other two it asks for, the train and the api key
Mine isn't forwarding logs. The locomotive logs are saying "The locomotive is chugging along.."
how many logs does it say its sent?
it hasn't said it sent any. Are you using just the name of the app ie. "MyApp" for TRAIN?
or some UUID?
it hasn't said it sent anyplease check, expand the context im using the uuid
oh nm..i see the logs now!
what was the issue?
need to figure out how to supress the "The locomotive is chugging along..." logs
why?
i was an idiot and had a filter on the DD dashboard
they are way to noisy
how often would you want them to be printed?
like once every 10 mins or never actually
