Sumo Logic Log Delivery

RTLD may automatically deliver compressed log data to Sumo Logic by submitting HTTPS POST requests to it. Sumo Logic will collect these requests as they are pushed from the CDN. Each request represents a compressed JSON document that describes one or more log entries.

Key information:

The format for log data delivered to Sumo Logic is JSON Lines. This log format does not provide information that uniquely identifies a set of log data. As a result, there is no way to check for gaps in sequence numbers when attempting to identify missing log data.
The set of available log fields varies by RTLD module: RTLD CDN | RTLD WAF | RTLD Rate Limiting | RTLD Bot | RTLD Cloud Functions
