      'sendConsoleErrors' : true,
      'tag' : 'javascript-logs',
      'useUtfEncoding': true
});

You can proxy the requests from your own domain if the script or its requests are blocked by Ad blockers. To do this, you need to perform following steps

Set useProxyDomain property to true

_LTracker.push({
  'logglyKey': 'your-customer-token',
  'sendConsoleErrors' : true,
  'tag' : 'javascript-logs',
  'useDomainProxy' : true
});

Use the following configuration on your server to forward the requests to Loggly

#Proxy to Loggly
location /loggly/ {
    rewrite ^/loggly/(.*)$ /$1 break;  # remove the '/loggly' part from the path, leaving /inputs/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-.../tag/xxx
	proxy_set_header Host logs-01.loggly.com;
	proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
	proxy_pass http://logs-01.loggly.com;
