Featrure to write to a file system

Opened this issue · 4 comments

Hello,

We would like to use the feature "Write logs in JSON format into the file system so that they could be collected and published by a sidecar, e.g. fluentd or Logstash.", but I can't see an example for the configuration in "WebLogicLoggingExporter.yaml".

Can you help me with that, please?

Kind regards
Ralf

Unfortunately, this isn't yet implemented. I'll get someone to cleanup the text. A little lower it does say that these features are planned for the "next few releases", but this is obviously confusing.

Hello,

Is there any plan to implement it in the near future?

Kind regards
Ralf

Hi, we are happy to take requests - though you can already achieve this with fluentd itself. Please see docs/samples at https://oracle.github.io/weblogic-kubernetes-operator/samples/simple/elastic-stack/weblogic-domain/ that show how to read and parse the logs with a fluentd sidecar. If that does not work for you, please update this issue again and we'll take a look. Thanks

I have created a pull request #20 for writing logs to a JSON file. It is a bit opiniated as I wanted it to work for our company but maybe you find it useful.

@markxnelson Can someone of your team review the pull request. I forgot to sign it so I'll do that as well. If it's too opiniated (I use a different json format then the elasticsearch exporter does) then thats understable as well.
