Fluent::Plugin::Logentries

Forward logs to Logentries, using token based input.

Looks at the tag/message to find out where the log should go.

Installation

install with gem or fluent-gem command as:

native gem

$ gem install fluent-plugin-logentries

fluentd gem

$ /opt/td-agent/embedded/bin/fluent-gem install fluent-plugin-logentries

Configruation file (YML)

    My-Awesome-App:
       app: MY-LOGENTRIES-TOKEN
       stdout: ANOTHER-LOGENTRIES-TOKEN (*)
       stderr: ANOTHER-LOGENTRIES-TOKEN-1 (*)
    Another-app:
       app: 2bfbea1e-10c3-4419-bdad-7e6435882e1f
       access: 5deab21c-04b1-9122-abdc-09adb2eda22 (*)
       error: 9acfbeba-c92c-1229-ccac-12c58d82ecc (*)

(*) any token other than app is optional, if you don't use multiple log per host just provide an app token.

Usage

    <match pattern>
      type logentries
      config_path /path/to/logentries-tokens.conf
    </match>

Parameters

type (required)

The value must be logentries.

config_path (required)

Path of your configuration file, e.g. /opt/logentries/tokens.conf

protocol

The default is tcp.

use_ssl

Enable/disable SSL for data transfers between Fluentd and Logentries. The default is true.

port

Only in case you don't use SSL, the value must be 80, 514, or 10000. The default is 20000 (SSL)

max_retries

Number of retries on failure.

use_json

When set to true, emit the entire record as a stringized JSON body instead of extracting the text from the message field of the record.

app_name

Used as a key for picking up a token set in the configuration file. You can use placeholders that are compatible with fluent-plugin-record-modifier.

The default value is ${record['app_name']}.

token_name

Used as a key for picking up a token in the token set determined by app_name. You can use placeholders that are compatible with fluent-plugin-record-modifier.

The default value is ${tag == @tag_access_log ? 'access': tag == @tag_error_log ? 'error': 'app'}

tag_access_log, tag_error_log (deprecated)

This is use in case you tag your access/error log and want them to be push into another log.

You can now use an arbitrary key to specify the token by giving an express to token_name setting.
