Note: If you are not using the multiline adapter and logging a multiline event or error stacktrace then you will see each line of your stacktrace as a single event in Loggly. Please see the screenshot below to get an idea of it. In order to enable multiline logging, you must first prefix your adapter with the multiline adapter as shown below: docker run -name logspout -d -volume=/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -e tag=\"Logspout\"" gliderlabs/logspout multiline+syslog+tcp://:514Īdding multiline adapter will allow you to see your multiline events like error stacktraces into a single event. You can easily differentiate between different containers and their logs by looking at the container IDs. You will also notice the container name and ID in syslog.appName and syslog.host, respectively. The logtype is nginx because the logs are nginx. You should see tag: Logspout which shows that nginx server logs are coming from the Logspout container. If it doesn’t work, see the troubleshooting section below.
It may take a few minutes to index the events. Search Loggly for events with the Logspout tag over the last 20 minutes. Now you are all set to generate nginx server logs by hitting the localhost URL with the 8080 port and logspout will ship all the logs to Loggly. Your nginx container has started and is open to listen at port 8080.

You can now see that both Logspout and nginx containers are running. docker run -name nginx -d -p 8080:80 nginx Simply Run the nginx container using the command below.

DOCKER SYSLOG SERVER DRIVER
"The logspout container has the ability to gather logs from other containers that are started without the -t option and are configured with a logging driver that works with docker logs (journald and json-file)." Example for centralizing nginx server logs with Logspout The already running Logspout container will take care of other container’s logs and will forward them with its own container logs to Loggly. If you want to send multiple container logs to Loggly, you don’t need to set up each container to send the logs. Centralization of logs from multiple containers Note: The container name and ID of the container will be parsed as syslog.appname and syslog.host respectively.
Go to the Search tab in Loggly and search for events with the Logspout tag over the last 20 minutes. TOKEN: enter your customer token from the Source Setup page in Loggly.docker run -name logspout -d -volume=/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -e SYSLOG_STRUCTURED_DATA=" tag=\"Logspout\"" gliderlabs/logspout syslog+tcp://:514 Run the command below to start the Logspout container and configure it to send logs to Loggly. Docker Logspout Setup Run the Logspout container This setup has been tested with Docker version 17.03.2-ce and Logspout version 3.2.6. All the logs from the guest container will be forwarded to Logspout automatically until the guest container is restarted or exited, in which case, you will have to repeat the procedure again for centralizing logging. This setup allows sending logs from multiple containers to a centralized guest container from which Logspout can then send to Loggly. This setup doesn’t support multiline logs, each line will be treated as a separate log event. You can send Docker container logs to Loggly with the help of Logspout. The following instructions provide one scenario for sending logs to Loggly. In general, any method to send logs from a system or application to an external source can be adapted to send logs to Loggly. Loggly provides the infrastructure to aggregate and normalize log events so they are available to explore interactively, build visualizations, or create threshold-based alerting.
