KrakenD-gelf

A gelf (Graylog Extended Log Format) Writer for KrakenD loggers.

How to use it

This package just return a gelf writer with the configuration provided via KrakenD ExtraConfig.

You need to add the Writer to the logger writers. This example uses KrakenD-gologging.

Import the package

import "github.com/krakendio/krakend-gelf"

Create a new Writer:

gelfWriter, err := gelf.NewWriter(cfg.ExtraConfig)

And add it to the logger:

gologging.NewLogger(cfg.ExtraConfig, gelfWriter...)

Configuration

Add the github_com/devopsfaith/krakend-gelf section to the service extra config.

There's 2 parameters:

• address (This parameter is required)

  The address (including the port) of your graylog server (or any service that receives gelf inputs).

• enable_tcp

  By default uses UDP but you can enable TCP by setting this option to true (not recommended, your performance may suffer).

Example:

"extra_config": {
  "github_com/devopsfaith/krakend-gelf": {
    "address": "myGraylogInstance:12201",
    "enable_tcp": false
  }
}
