About

Blackbox will tail all files in sub-directories of a specified source_dir, and forward any new lines to a syslog server.

This is currently used in syslog-release and windows-syslog-release.

Usage

kbox -config config.yml

The configuration file schema is as follows:

name: this-host

og:
stination:
transport: udp
address: logs.example.com:1234

urce_dir: /path/to/log-dir

Consider the case where log-dir has the following structure:

h/to/log-dir
app1
|-- stdout.log
`-- stderr.log
app2
|-- foo.log
`-- bar.log

Any new lines written to app1/stdout.log and app1/stderr.log get sent to syslog tagged as app1, while new lines written to app2/foo.log and app2/bar.log get sent to syslog tagged as app2.

Currently the priority and facility are hardcoded to INFO and user.

Installation

et -u github.com/cloudfoundry/blackbox/cmd/blackbox
