📝 Ship logs from Auth0 to BetterStack Logs with Terraform

Learn how to integrate Auth0 monitoring logs into your logging stack effortlessly using BetterStack Logs and Terraform. By connecting Auth0's log events to BetterStack Logs with HTTP webhooks, you'll have a robust logging system ready in no time. Let's get started!

Why integrate Auth0 monitoring logs? 🤔

Well, it's because these logs are often hidden away, and by bringing them into your logging stack, you'll be able to easily see the correlation of authentication events in one convenient place when tailing your application's logs. 🕵️‍♂️

Many logging providers are already officially documented by Auth0, but BetterStack Logs seems to be an undocumented one, so we thought somebody might be interested in it.

Both BetterStack Logs and Auth0 support adding logging with HTTP webhooks. This means we can effortlessly set up the necessary resources to let Auth0 push all log events to BetterStack Logs. But the best thing is that they both have really good Terraform providers that allow you to easily configure everything in a reproducible way as code.

Terraform resources ⚙️

resource "logtail_source" "app_auth0_production" {
  name = "App Auth0 (Production)"
  platform = "http"
}

resource "auth0_log_stream" "app_logs_betterstack" {
  name = "BetterStack Logs"
  type = "http"
  filters = []
  sink {
    http_endpoint = "https://in.logs.betterstack.com"
    http_content_type = "application/json"
    http_content_format = "JSONARRAY"
    http_authorization = "Bearer ${logtail_source.app_auth0_production.token}"
  }
}

For the optional configuration of the resources you can look into the official documentation of the logtail_source & auth0_log_stream.

Have fun!
