docker-logentries

Forward all your logs to logentries, like a breeze.

TODO:

• publish on NPM
• publish on Docker Hub
• update readme with Docker HUB and NPM details

Usage as a CLI

1. npm install docker-logentries -g
2. docker-logentries -t TOKEN -a host=\uname -n``
3. ..there is no step 3

You can also pass the -j switch if you log in JSON format, like bunyan. You can also pass the --no-stats flag if you do not want stats to be published to logentries every second. The -a/--add flag allows to add fixed values to the data being published. This follows the format 'name=value'.

Embedded usage

Install it with: npm install docker-logentries --save

Then, in your JS file:

var logentries = require('docker-logentries')({
  json: false, // or true to parse lines as JSON
  secure: false, // or true to connect securely
  token: process.env.TOKEN, // logentries TOKEN
  stats: true, // disable stats if false
  add: null, // an object whose properties will be added
})

// logentries is the source stream with all the
// log lines

setTimeout(function() {
  logentries.destroy()
}, 5000)

Docker usage

First clone this repository, then:

docker build -t docker-logentries .
docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock docker-logentries -t <TOKEN> -j -a host=`uname -n`
