HI All I am using Heroku to host our application in common runtime and private space. I would like to check what is the best option to ship all the log of Dyno, Prostgres, etc from Heroku to Elastic Cloud. Regards Anoop Krishna K ---

Hi @anoopkrishna, I don't know much about the internals of Heroku, but it seems to be possible to configure a logplex drain that forwards log entries in syslog format. You could try to send those to a logstash or filebeat process and forward to Elasticsearch from there. A quick search lead me to [https://blog.readme.com/making-better-use-of-herokus-logging-firehose/](https://blog.readme.com/making-better-use-of-herokus-logging-firehose/), which describes a setup of that sort. ---

Hi @weltenwort Thanks for your response. I have gone through the article which only talks about the application log. I would like to push Metric log as well on Elastic Search. Also, the article is mentioning about hosting a docker application on the cloud to deploy Logstash. Is it possible to include the logstash on Elastic Cloud itself? ---

Unfortunately we're not yet offering to host Logstash on Elastic Cloud. Could you maybe just deploy it on heroku itself? There seem to be several buildpacks around. ---

In order for the metrics from the metrics logs to be available I would try parsing them in logstash using a grok and related filters. It's might be a bit tricky, though, because I couldn't find a good documentation for the heroku metric log format. ---
