Better Stack Supabase logging

Collect logs from your Supabase projects by configuring a custom log drain endpoint.

1. Create a new source

Create a new HTTP source in Better Stack.

Copy the Ingesting host and Source token from the source details. You will need these in the next step.

2. Configure log drain in Supabase

In your Supabase project dashboard, go to Project Settings → Log drains, and create a new Custom endpoint.

Set the Endpoint URL to:

https://$INGESTING_HOST?source_token=$SOURCE_TOKEN

After you click Save destination, you should see your Supabase logs in Better Stack → Live tail.

3. Enhance log display and data

To make the integration even better, you can apply some optional configurations in Better Stack:

Normalize the data on ingest

Supabase logs includes a timestamp field. To align this with Better Stack's standard dt field, you can use a VRL transformation.

You can also normalize the different log level fields metadata.level and metadata.parsed.error_severity.

Go to Sources → Supabase source → Configure → Transformations tab, and add the following VRL:

.dt = del(.timestamp)
if (.metadata.level != null || .metadata.parsed.error_severity != null) {
    .level = upcase!(.metadata.level || .metadata.parsed.error_severity)
}

Customize the Live tail message format

To see the most relevant information from your Supabase logs directly in the Live tail, you can customize the default message format.

Go to Sources → Supabase source → Configure → Advanced settings tab, and set the Live tail message format to:

{metadata.host|metadata.context.host as host} {level} {event_message::text}

This will display the host, log level, and the main message content prominently in your Live tail.
