Third-Party Extension Support: LogDNA Integration

MagicTradeBot offers native integration with LogDNA — a cloud-native log management platform that enables real-time log streaming and centralized monitoring. This integration allows all events and logs generated by each bot instance to be pushed to LogDNA instantly.

Whether you are operating a single bot instance or managing hundreds of instances across different exchanges, accounts, symbols, or distributed servers, LogDNA empowers you to centralize observability and diagnostics. Manual tracking becomes impractical at scale — LogDNA solves this with intuitive dashboards and high-performance indexing.

🚀 Overview

MagicTradeBot can send all logs and trading events to LogDNA via their ingestion API or logging agents. With this setup, you can:

  • Search, filter, and visualize logs by symbol, exchange, or instance
  • Correlate errors, trade execution failures, and API issues
  • Monitor all bot activity across accounts and exchanges in one place

🔧 Key Features

  • 📡 Real-time log streaming via HTTPS or logging agent
  • 🌍 Multi-instance, multi-server deployment support
  • 🧠 Searchable logs with custom tags and metadata
  • 📊 Central dashboard to visualize trading activity, errors, and events
  • 🚨 Integrations for alerts via Slack, PagerDuty, Webhooks, etc.

🛠️ Prerequisites

  • A valid LogDNA account
  • Your ingestion LogDNA Ingest Key (API Key)
  • Optional: LogDNA agent installed on your bot hosting environment

⚙️ Configuration Steps

1. Obtain LogDNA Ingestion Key

Login to your LogDNA account and go to Settings → API Keys to create or copy your ingestion key.

2. Update Bot Configuration

Enable LogDNA logging in your bot configuration file (e.g., config.yaml):

logging:
  logdna:
    enabled: true
    ingest_key: "YOUR_LOGDNA_API_KEY"
    app_name: "magictradebot"
    environment: "production"
    hostname: "bot-eu-1"
    tags:
      - exchange:binance
      - region:eu

3. (Optional) Install LogDNA Agent

If preferred, install the LogDNA agent on your server (Linux/Windows/macOS):

curl -sSL https://assets.logdna.com/logdna-agent.sh | sudo bash -s -- -k YOUR_LOGDNA_API_KEY

Or manually configure /etc/logdna.conf and start the agent.

4. Deploy and Verify

Run your bot and verify that logs are appearing in the LogDNA dashboard in real-time, with the correct tags, hostnames, and instance IDs.
