External Logs

Learn about the external log services supported by Fivetran.

Overview

In addition to the Fivetran Platform Connector, Fivetran supports several external logging services. You can set up an external logging service to either collect logs for the destination it's connected to (destination level), or to collect logs for all destinations in your account (account level).

See our Fivetran Platform Connector and External Logging Service Comparison documentation to learn more about the differences between the Fivetran Platform Connector and external logging services.
