By default, the plugin is configured to send logs through HTTPS (port 443) using gzip compression.
You can change this behavior by using the following parameters:

- `use_http`: Set this to `false` if you want to use TCP forwarding and update the `host` and `port` accordingly (default is `true`)
- `use_compression`: Compression is only available for HTTP. Disable it by setting this to `false` (default is `true`)
- `compression_level`: Set the compression level from HTTP. The range is from 1 to 9, 9 being the best ratio (default is `6`)

Additional parameters can be used to change the endpoint used in order to go through a proxy:

- `host`: Proxy endpoint when logs are not directly forwarded to Datadog (default value is `intake.logs.datadoghq.com`)
- `port`: Proxy port when logs are not directly forwarded to Datadog (default value is `10514`)
- `ssl_port`: Port used when logs are forwarded in a secure TCP/SSL connection to Datadog (default is `10516`)
- `use_ssl`: If `true`, the Agent initializes a secure TCP/SSL connection to Datadog. (default value is `true`)
- `host`: The proxy endpoint for logs not directly forwarded to Datadog (default value: `http-intake.logs.datadoghq.com`).
- `port`: The proxy port for logs not directly forwarded to Datadog (default value: `80`).
- `ssl_port`: The port used for logs forwarded with a secure TCP/SSL connection to Datadog (default value: `443`).
- `use_ssl`: Instructs the Agent to initialize a secure TCP/SSL connection to Datadog (default value: `true`).
- `no_ssl_validation`: Disables SSL hostname validation (default value: `false`).


This also can be used to send logs to **Datadog EU** by setting:

```conf
<match datadog.**>

#...
host 'tcp-intake.logs.datadoghq.eu'
ssl_port '443'
host 'http-intake.logs.datadoghq.eu'

</match>
```
