Leverage Cloudflare logs for cost optimization, troubleshooting, and security

Cloudflare is a content delivery network (CDN) that helps businesses accelerate, protect, and optimize their websites, applications, and APIs. Cloudflare logs provide detailed insights into HTTP requests, including origin and response metadata, as well as security, TLS, and encryption information. The logs are structured as JSON objects, with each entry representing a single HTTP request processed by Cloudflare. Key fields in the log include EdgeStartTimestamp, EdgeEndTimestamp, ClientRequestQuery, EdgeResponseStatus, CacheStatus, OriginIP, OriginTLSVersion, OriginResponseDurationMs, WAFAction, BotScore, and ThreatScore. These fields can be used to monitor Cloudflare logs for debugging and troubleshooting, managing cost, security monitoring and threat detection, compliance and auditing, and monitoring in a unified platform with Datadog.
