Docker Compose
Gathering logs from docker-compose scripts is easy to do and all it takes is for your to configure the fluentd driver to push data to Apica Ascent
Lets look at a simple compose file with a single service "web"
version: '3.7'
services:
web:
image: wordpress
ports:
- "89:8080"
logging:
driver: "fluentd"
options:
fluentd-address: 192.168.68.114:24224
labels: "namespace,application,production_status,cluster_id"
env: "os"
labels:
production_status: "testing"
namespace: "us-east-1"
application: "wordpress"
cluster_id: "cluster1"
environment:
- os=ubuntu
The fluentd logging driver can be configured to send logs directly to Apica Ascent either via TLS or non-TLS. use port 24224 for non-TLS and port 24225 for TLS.
logging:
driver: "fluentd"
options:
fluentd-address: 192.168.68.114:24224
labels: "namespace,application,production_status,cluster_id"
env: "os"
Logs get organized in Apica Ascent as flows. A Flow is a combination of a Namespace and an application. You can optionally also add a third grouping attribute cluster_id.
Aside from this, the labels and environment section allows additional metadata to be sent with logs and can be used for search indexing, aggregate queries
labels:
production_status: "testing"
namespace: "us-east-1"
application: "wordpress"
cluster_id: "cluster1"
environment:
- os=ubuntu
