Introduction

Problem

The Log Forwarder container tfe-fluent-bit that is included in Terraform Enterprise version v202109-1 consistently fails with error getaddrinfo(host='http-intake.logs.datadoghq.com', err=12): Timeout while contacting DNS servers when integrated with Datadog. 

Cause

  • The underlying component in the Log Forwarder is missing the default configuration for the DNS resolver which causes the name resolution to timeout.

Solution:

  • Upgrade to Terraform Enterprise v202109-2.

Outcome:

  • The log output from the container tfe-fluent-bit stops showing the error.
  • The log messages from containers are forwarded correctly.
