Purpose

Setup a container that would receiving the log from other docker container and send to google stackdriver

Usage

• From the GCP panel, download your service key for write log into your stackdriver. Download the file and renamed it to application_default_credentials.json

• Run the docker

  docker run -p 5514:514 -v /Users/phucpnt/projects/google-stackdriver-log/application_default_credentials.json:/etc/google/auth/application_default_credentials.json -v /Users/phucpnt/projects/google-stackdriver-log/google-fluentd.conf:/etc/google-fluentd/google-fluentd.conf -e "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/etc/google/auth/application_default_credentials.json" --name=google-log phucpnt/google-stackdriver-log

• Remember to assign the following environment for location of the stackdriver log:

  • GCP_PROJECT_ID: your project id in GCP
  • GCP_VM_ID: you can name your VM name (any name you want)
  • GCP_ZONE_ID: use the zone id of GCP ex: northamerica etc...
  • Why you need that? -> GoogleCloudPlatform/fluent-plugin-google-cloud#156

• Set the other docker instance to use fluentd driver for log. Eg. docker run --log-driver=fluentd --log-opt fluentd-address=127.0.0.1:5514 phucpnt/log-test

Limitation

• You can not change the VM_ID dynamically in the stackdriver log base on the docker instance.
