Stackdriver logs do not show

[Rufus Post]

This might not be an issue it could be me doing something incorrectly.

I have the following in /etc/google-fluentd/config.d/api.conf:

<source>
    @type tail
    format none
    path /opt/api/var/log/*.log*
    pos_file /var/lib/google-fluentd/pos/api.pos
    read_from_head true
    tag structured-log
</source>

As per the guide here https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/agent/configuration

With the following in my application config:

config :logger, backends: [LoggerJSON]
config :logger_json, :backend, json_encoder: Jason

With this configuration the log message is in textPayload as expected however if I change format in the fluentd conf file from format none to format json the logs never arrive 🤷‍♂️

@mynameisrufus I'm not sure how to configure standalone fluentd worker to integrate with Stackdriver, can only tell that we use LoggerJSON in staging and production Kubernetes clusters on GKE and they work without changing any fluentd configuration.

@AndrewDryga thanks for the reply. I'm will log text for now as I don't actually need structured logs it would just have been nice to have.
