Simple rsyslog Docker image optimized for parsing and forwarding logs
Launch to echo logs received by syslog (514/udp) to stdout:
docker run --rm -it -p 514:514/udp --name forwarder jbenninghoff/rsyslog-forwarder
Use docker-compose to standardize syslog messages using syslog parsing:
Copy the default files:
mkdir ~/forwarder
cd ~/forwarder
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jabenninghoff/rsyslog-forwarder/master/etc/rsyslog.conf
Create a docker-compose.yml file:
version: '3'
services:
forwarder:
image: jbenninghoff/rsyslog-forwarder
volumes:
- ~/forwarder/rsyslog.conf:/etc/rsyslog.conf
ports:
- 514:514/udp
- 10514:10514/tcp
