Collecting Docker Log Files with Fluentd and Logz.io

This directory contains the source files needed to make a Docker image that collects Docker container log files using Fluentd and sends them to your Logz.io account.

This image is designed to be used as a daemonset in a Kubernetes cluster.

Usage

Sign in to your logz.io account. Fluentd connection details will be available at https://app.logz.io/#/dashboard/data-sources/Fluentd

Customize daemonset.json

• Replace _YOUR_ENDPOINT_URL_ with your logz.io access endpoint, such as https://listener.logz.io:8071.
• Replace _YOUR_TOKEN_ with your logz.io account token.
• Replace _YOUR_LOG_TYPE_ with the type of logs you are shipping. We are using this as a tag to identify the k8s cluster source of the logs.
• Replace _YOUR_DOCKER_IMAGE_TAG_ with the docker image tag you will build from this repo.

The logz.io endpoint URL is ${_YOUR_ENDPOINT_URL_}?token=${_YOUR_TOKEN_}&type=${_YOUR_LOG_TYPE_}

Build and deploy

• docker build -t ${_YOUR_DOCKER_IMAGE_TAG_} .
• docker push ${_YOUR_DOCKER_IMAGE_TAG_}
• kubectl create -f daemonset.json --validate=false (disable validation over readOnly key in one of the volumes)
