Why Stream Cloudflare Logs?

Cloudflare offers a range of services including CDN, DDoS protection, and DNS, which help protect and optimize millions of domains, and provides comprehensive logs containing HTTP request data, response codes, and security events for monitoring web performance and threats. While Logpush is available for real-time log streaming for Enterprise plans, users across all plan levels, including Free, Pro, and Business, can access Cloudflare logs via the GraphQL API. This guide demonstrates how to stream Cloudflare logs to OpenObserve, using either method, to gain actionable insights into web traffic such as performance monitoring, security analysis, and operational insights. The guide provides step-by-step instructions on setting up the necessary accounts, generating the required API tokens, and configuring either the GraphQL API or Logpush for log streaming, allowing users to effectively monitor and analyze their Cloudflare logs in OpenObserve, regardless of their plan level.
