`POST /observability-destination/{id}/test`

Resource: **Observability Destination** · API: **Logging destinations**

## Path parameters

- **`id`** _(string, required)_
  Logging destination id (`ldst_…`).

## Request body

    Datadog site.
    Allowed: `us1`, `us3`, `us5`, `eu`, `ap1`
  - **`tags`** _(array<string>)_
  - **`log_types`** _(array<string>)_
    Which slices of the audit trail to forward: `tool_call` = MCP/tool executions, `auth` = membership, role, invite and credential events, `admin` = everything else.
- **`secrets`** _(object)_
  Write-only credentials, stored encrypted and never returned. Sending `secrets` REPLACES the whole stored bag, so include every key the provider needs, not just the one you are changing.

  - **`token`** _(string)_
    Splunk HEC token.
  - **`shared_key`** _(string)_

  HTTP status returned by the provider, when there was one.
- **`error`** _(string,null)_
  Failure detail; null when `ok` is true.
