td-agent.conf

# This configuration file for Fluentd / td-agent is used
# to watch changes to Docker log files. The kubelet creates symlinks that
# capture the pod name, namespace, container name & Docker container ID
# to the docker logs for pods in the /var/log/containers directory on the host.
# If running this fluentd configuration in a Docker container, the /var/log
# directory should be mounted in the container.
#
# These logs are then submitted to Elasticsearch which assumes the
# installation of the fluent-plugin-elasticsearch & the
# fluent-plugin-kubernetes_metadata_filter plugins.
# See https://github.com/uken/fluent-plugin-elasticsearch &
# https://github.com/fabric8io/fluent-plugin-kubernetes_metadata_filter for
# more information about the plugins.

# Example
# =======
# A line in the Docker log file might look like this JSON:
#
# {"log":"2014/09/25 21:15:03 Got request with path wombat\n",
#  "stream":"stderr",
#   "time":"2014-09-25T21:15:03.499185026Z"}
#
# The time_format specification below makes sure we properly
# parse the time format produced by Docker. This will be
# submitted to Elasticsearch and should appear like:
# $ curl 'http://elasticsearch-logging:9200/_search?pretty'
# ...
# {
#      "_index" : "logstash-2014.09.25",
#      "_type" : "fluentd",
#      "_id" : "VBrbor2QTuGpsQyTCdfzqA",
#      "_score" : 1.0,
#      "_source":{"log":"2014/09/25 22:45:50 Got request with path wombat\n",
#                 "stream":"stderr","tag":"docker.container.all",
#                 "@timestamp":"2014-09-25T22:45:50+00:00"}
#    },
# ...
#
# The Kubernetes fluentd plugin is used to write the Kubernetes metadata to the log
# record & add labels to the log record if properly configured. This enables users
# to filter & search logs on any metadata.
# For example a Docker container's logs might be in the directory:
#
#  /var/lib/docker/containers/997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b
#
# and in the file:
#
#  997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b-json.log
#
# where 997599971ee6... is the Docker ID of the running container.
# The Kubernetes kubelet makes a symbolic link to this file on the host machine
# in the /var/log/containers directory which includes the pod name and the Kubernetes
# container name:
#
#    synthetic-logger-0.25lps-pod_default_synth-lgr-997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b.log
#    ->
#    /var/lib/docker/containers/997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b/997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b-json.log
#
# The /var/log directory on the host is mapped to the /var/log directory in the container
# running this instance of Fluentd and we end up collecting the file:
#
#   /var/log/containers/synthetic-logger-0.25lps-pod_default_synth-lgr-997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b.log
#
# This results in the tag:
#
#  var.log.containers.synthetic-logger-0.25lps-pod_default_synth-lgr-997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b.log
#
# The Kubernetes fluentd plugin is used to extract the namespace, pod name & container name
# which are added to the log message as a kubernetes field object & the Docker container ID
# is also added under the docker field object.
# The final tag is:
#
#   kubernetes.var.log.containers.synthetic-logger-0.25lps-pod_default_synth-lgr-997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b.log
#
# And the final log record look like:
#
# {
#   "log":"2014/09/25 21:15:03 Got request with path wombat\n",
#   "stream":"stderr",
#   "time":"2014-09-25T21:15:03.499185026Z",
#   "kubernetes": {
#     "namespace": "default",
#     "pod_name": "synthetic-logger-0.25lps-pod",
#     "container_name": "synth-lgr"
#   },
#   "docker": {
#     "container_id": "997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b"
#   }
# }
#
# This makes it easier for users to search for logs by pod name or by
# the name of the Kubernetes container regardless of how many times the
# Kubernetes pod has been restarted (resulting in a several Docker container IDs).
#
# TODO: Propagate the labels associated with a container along with its logs
# so users can query logs using labels as well as or instead of the pod name
# and container name. This is simply done via configuration of the Kubernetes
# fluentd plugin but requires secrets to be enabled in the fluent pod. This is a
# problem yet to be solved as secrets are not usable in static pods which the fluentd
# pod must be until a per-node controller is available in Kubernetes.

# Prevent fluentd from handling records containing its own logs. Otherwise
# it can lead to an infinite loop, when error in sending one message generates
# another message which also fails to be sent and so on.
