Logs still treated as an integration

[devinmatte]

I would love to be able to configure the logs block of each of my integrations like postfix, like the docs tell me to do https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/postfix/#log-collection however the puppet module doesn't appear to currently support this use case

I believe you should be able to do this (untested) using the logs integration: https://github.com/DataDog/puppet-datadog-agent/blob/master/manifests/integrations/logs.pp#L23

Edit: scratch that! re-read the description here, and this is about supporting creation of custom paths like postfix.d/conf.yaml instead of relying on the logs integration (conf.d/logs.yaml).

Unfortunately, adding all possible fields to all integrations doesn't scale, so many integrations are missing options (like logs in this case).

To circumvent this problem, we recommend you use the free-form integrations hash in the datadog_agent class. There you can specify any integration you want with any fields you want, like this:

class { "datadog_agent":
    < your other arguments to the class >,
    integrations => {
        postfix => {
            init_config => {
                postfix_user => 'postfix',
            },
            instances => [
                {
                    directory => '/var/spool/postfix',
                    queues => [ 'incoming', 'active', 'deferred' ],
                }
            ],
            logs => [
                {
                    type => 'file',
                    path => '/var/log/mail.log',
                    source => 'postfix',
                    service => 'myapp',
                }
            ],
        },
    },
}

Let me know if this solves your issues!
