# aptible log_drain:create:datadog

This command lets you create a [Log Drain](/docs/core-concepts/observability/logs/log-drains/overview) to forward your Container logs to Datadog.

> 📘 The `--url` option must use the format `https://http-intake.logs.datadoghq.com/v1/input/<DD_API_KEY>`. You can add tags as query parameters to filter logs in Datadog (for example, `?env=production`). Refer to [https://docs.datadoghq.com/logs/log\_collection](https://docs.datadoghq.com/logs/log_collection) for more options.

> Please note, Datadog's documentation defaults to v2. Please use v1 Datadog documentation with Aptible.
