Logspout
Lightweight Log Router for Docker Containers
Logspout is a lightweight log router designed specifically for Docker containers. It collects logs from all containers running on a Docker host and routes them to various destinations, such as log management systems, storage services, or standard output. With its simplicity and flexibility, Logspout makes it easy to centralize and manage logs from Dockerized applications, enabling efficient monitoring, analysis, and troubleshooting.
Key Features
- Container-Aware: Logspout runs as a container itself and automatically collects logs from all other containers running on the same Docker host, eliminating the need for manual configuration.
- Plug-and-Play: Logspout requires minimal setup and configuration, making it easy to integrate with existing Docker environments without disrupting workflows.
- Flexible Routing: Route logs to multiple destinations, including syslog servers, HTTP endpoints, file systems, and more, based on simple filtering rules or custom configurations.
- Real-Time Streaming: Stream logs in real-time to downstream services, enabling timely analysis and alerting for operational insights and troubleshooting.
- Open Source: Logspout is open-source software, providing transparency, extensibility, and community-driven development for ongoing improvements and enhancements.
