journald-forwarder

Forward systemd journals to Loggly

Usage

./journald-forwarder -token [LogglyToken] -logFile [where to place logs for this app] -tag [Loggly tag] -logFile [path to logfile]

Defaults

-logFile = /var/log/journald-forwarder.log -tag = ""

An example systemd script is available in packaging/systemd, which works on CoreOS.

Building

The easiest way is to run packaging/docker which will statically compile journald-forwarder to a bin folder.

Dev notes

The forwarder first marshals the json into a journald.JournalEntry struct. Then copies the data into loggly.JournalEntry struct and finally marshals into json. This is done to translate the field names from journal names (e.g. ___PID) into nicer loggly names (e.g. Pid) and additionally to convert the timestamp into miliseconds.
