How to send heroku logs to discord via webhooks? - heroku

Question

I saw heroku cli and it's cool to log in real time via -tail
But how do I send that real time logging to discord via webhooks (for example curl or node-fetch by cli or coding respectively.)?

Answer 1

So the only way I have been able to do this is to create a Heroku webhook through their notifications and have it go to Zappier then to a discord webhook.

Answer 2

you'll need to create a custom logdrain and connect that to the your heroku app's logplex. But you don't need to do that from scratch, this repository has a very good explanation and implementation in python

Ps: the best way is here, and it works!
Module file:
const {fetch} = require("rovel.js");
function log(text){
fetch(process.env.CONSOLE_LOG, {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify({
"username": "RDL console.log",
"content": text
})
})
globalThis.logg(text);
}
function error(text){
fetch(process.env.CONSOLE_LOG, {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify({
"username": "RDL console.error",
"content": text
})
})
globalThis.logerr(text);
}
function warn(text){
fetch(process.env.CONSOLE_LOG, {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify({
"username": "RDL console.warn",
"content": text
})
})
globalThis.warnn(text);
}
module.exports = {log, error, warn};
And import it:
const loggy = require("#utils/loggy.js");
globalThis.logg = console.log;
globalThis.console.log = loggy.log;
globalThis.logerr = console.error;
globalThis.console.error = loggy.error;
globalThis.warnn = console.warn;
globalThis.console.warn = loggy.warn;
globalThis.fetch = rovel.fetch;
(rovel.fetch is actually a copy of node fetch.)
process.env.CONSOLE_LOG is the discord webhook where you want to log it.
