The ELK-Stack (ElasticSearch, Logstash, Kibana) is actually very known for logging, but when I searched for a ready to use solution nothing statisfied me to my need.
This logging setup that can be used to capture, store and visualize logs from
any source (see how to use with Docker below) that is
supported by logstash with for example a key=value format
log_type=HTTP_LOG route=/my/route response_code=200
Hint: This is the behaviour by my configuration, but can be adapted to your needs.
Simply start using it with:
docker-compose up
Hint: this
docker-compose.ymlalso works perfectly on rancher 😉
Using the docker logging driver to make docker send the plaintext logs to the logstash instance using the syslog protocol.
docker run --log-driver=syslog --log-opt syslog-address=udp://elk-hostname:5140 myimage
