Logspout with GELF adapter

Logspout with GELF adapter

This image contains Logspout which is compiled with GELF adapter so you can forward Docker logs in GELF format using gelf://hostname:port as the Logspout command.

Usage

Always read the official instructions first. This image should work the same way. Just use gelf as the protocol scheme.

Remember to set the hostname of the container to something meaningfull, because that gets set as the source of the GELF message.

CLI example

docker run -d --name=logspout --restart=unless-stopped -h $(hostname -f) -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock vincit/logspout-gelf gelf://my.log.server:12201

Docker Compose example

You could use this image with the following docker-compose file for unencrypted gelf messages over udp:

version: '3'

services:
  logspout:
    image: kthse/logspout-gelf-tls:108
    hostname: my.message.source
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    command: gelf://my.log.server:12201
    restart: unless-stopped

or the following for sending gelf message over TLS+TCP:

version: '3'

services:
  logspout:
    image: kthse/logspout-gelf-tls:latest
    hostname: my.message.source
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    command: gelf+tls://my.log.server:12201
    restart: unless-stopped

Disclaimer

This image is provided as-is and only with best effort. We try to update this image with the latest Logspout stable version.
