Syslogger Docker Image

tutum/syslogger

Image based on gliderlabs/logspout optimized for syslog and Tutum

docker-compose run -d -e HOSTNAME=<YOUR-HOSTNAME> syslogger "<YOUR-URI>"

replacing <YOUR-HOSTNAME> with the name you want it to appear in your managment service and <YOUR-URI> with the URI you will like to send your logs to.

Example using Papertrail

docker-compose run -d -e HOSTNAME=<YOUR-HOSTNAME> syslogger "syslog://<YOUR-PAPERTRAIL-URI>"

replacing <YOUR-PAPERTRAIL-URI> with your own papertrail URI. An example of Papertrail URI can be logs.papertrailapp.com:55555.

Example using Loggly

docker-compose run -d -e HOSTNAME=<YOUR-HOSTNAME> syslogger "syslog://logs-01.loggly.com:514?structured_data=<YOUR-CUSTOMER-TOKEN>@41058"

replacing <YOUR-CUSTOMER-TOKEN> with the customer token that you can find on "Source Setup"->"Customer Tokens".

Notes

• Syslogger is a log router for Docker containers that runs inside Docker. It attaches to all containers on a host, then routes their logs wherever you want.
• Right now it can capture stdout and stderr.
• Syslogger will gather logs from all containers that are started without the -t option.

Ignoring specific containers

Syslogger can ignore specific containers by setting an enviroment variable in the container you want it to ignore.

docker run -d -e 'LOGSPOUT=ignore' <name-image>
