# Datadog: create a log pipeline — Logs → Configuration → Pipelines → New Pipeline

## Steps
1. In the Datadog app, go to "Logs" → "Configuration" → "Pipelines".
2. Click "New Pipeline".
3. Select a log from the live tail preview to derive a filter, or enter a filter query manually.
4. Name the pipeline.
5. Optionally add a description and tags (tags don't affect log processing but help filter the Pipelines page).
6. Click "Create".
7. On the new pipeline, click "Add Processor" (or "Add Nested Pipeline") to attach parsing/enrichment steps.

## End state
The pipeline appears in the Pipelines list with its filter query and processor count; matching incoming logs are routed through it and transformed by its processors before indexing.
