To build your own:
docker build -t go-collect-logs
docker run --rm -ti -p 3000:3000 -p 10514:10514/UDP -p 10514:10514/TCP go-collect-logs
echo 'test message' 2>&1 | logger -P 10514 -n localhost
or redirect from your existing Docker container:
docker run --rm -ti --log-driver=syslog --log-opt syslog-format=rfc3164 --log-opt syslog-address=udp://127.0.0.1:10514 alpine /bin/sh -c "while true; do echo My Message \$RANDOM; sleep 1; done;"
