# This configuration file for Fluentd / td-agent is used # to watch changes to Docker log files that live in the # directory /var/lib/docker/containers/ and are symbolically # linked to from the /var/log directory using names that capture the # pod name and container name. These logs are then submitted to # Google Cloud Logging which assumes the installation of the cloud-logging plug-in. # # Example # ======= # A line in the Docker log file might like like this JSON: # # {"log":"2014/09/25 21:15:03 Got request with path wombat\n", # "stream":"stderr", # "time":"2014-09-25T21:15:03.499185026Z"} # # The record reformer is used to write the tag to focus on the pod name # and the Kubernetes container name. For example a Docker container's logs # might be in the directory: # /var/lib/docker/containers/997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b # and in the file: # 997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b-json.log # where 997599971ee6... is the Docker ID of the running container. # The Kubernetes kubelet makes a symbolic link to this file on the host machine # in the /var/log/containers directory which includes the pod name and the Kubernetes # container name: # synthetic-logger-0.25lps-pod_default-synth-lgr-997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b.log # -> # /var/lib/docker/containers/997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b/997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b-json.log # The /var/log directory on the host is mapped to the /var/log directory in the container # running this instance of Fluentd and we end up collecting the file: # /var/log/containers/synthetic-logger-0.25lps-pod_default-synth-lgr-997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b.log # This results in the tag: # var.log.containers.synthetic-logger-0.25lps-pod_default-synth-lgr-997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b.log # The record reformer is used is discard the var.log.containers prefix and # the Docker container ID suffix and "kubernetes." is pre-pended giving the # final tag which is ingested into Elasticsearch: # kubernetes.synthetic-logger-0.25lps-pod_default-synth-lgr # This makes it easier for users to search for logs by pod name or by # the name of the Kubernetes container regardless of how many times the # Kubernetes pod has been restarted (resulting in a several Docker container IDs). # Prevent fluentd from handling records containing its own logs.
