Service Logs Release

This release contains a job that allows you to send logs from syslog files to Loggregator. This job can be added to a service VM and configured to forward that service’s logs to Loggregator.

How it works

Service Logs Release uses the Fluent Bit Loggregator Plugin to read from syslog files and send those logs to Loggregator. The Fluent Bit Loggregator Plugin is a plugin for Fluent Bit.

Configuration

Service Logs release requires the following configuration properties:

property name	description
source_id	Source id of the logs to be emitted
path	File glob representing the logs to be emitted
cert	Cert for cert-key pair that can connect to a local loggregator agent
key	Key for cert-key pair that can connect to a local loggregator agent
ca	CA for cert-key pair that can connect to a local loggregator agent
port	Port where the loggregator agent is listening

The sample ops file (manifests/operations/add-service-logs.yml) demonstrates a sample configuration that adds the service logs job to the api.
