> 🌲 Pino transporter for Datadog and Logmatic

## About

This is a [pino][] transporter for both Datadog and Logmatic.
Name come from contraction of both services.

## Usage

Install it globally to pipe data to it.
```bash
node myserver | pino-datadogmatic
```

Once well configured, it will convey data to logmatic or datadog,
while outputing stdin to stdout like a `tee` program.


It does so by prepending each line by an API key you would have configured.

## Configuration

Transporter is to be configured with environment variables:
- `LOGMATIC_API_KEY` : Specify the API key for logmatic
- `DATADOG_API_KEY` : Specify the API for datadog configuration.
       you can  also specify you want to forward to the EU region by adding `--eu` flag.

Depending which one environment variable you set, `pin-datadogmatic` will the configured
to forward to the appropriate server.

Alternatively you can define `HOST`, `PORT`, and `API_KEY` to forward to a custom server.
