Naming convention for logging

[mashayev]

Hi,

I didn't find any option to change the logs output to different naming convention:
instead of :

Jul 06 14:27:29 "POD" "POD-info": 2016/07/06 11:27:29 - message

to be (for example):

Jul 06 14:27:29 "service" "specific pod info"

What logging are you talkiing about?

[mashayev]

For example:

service (a.k.a nginx) specific pod info (a.k.a worker.{{ index }}) - stdout message.

After sone investigation I figure it out:

In order to make the logs per you naming convention you can use this in your yaml file (or use docker native commands):

yaml example:

        env:
          - name: SYSLOG_TAG
            value: '{{ index .Container.Config.Labels "io.kubernetes.pod.namespace" }}[{{ index .Container.Config.Labels "io.kubernetes.pod.name" }}]'
          - name: SYSLOG_HOSTNAME
            value: '{{ index .Container.Config.Labels "io.kubernetes.container.name" }}'

One thing which is missing is the ENV variables support add env vars on SYSLOG_TAG template.

Hope it will be finished soon.

Yeah this sounds like not something related to logspout but actually whatever orchestration tool you are using.

Happy you got it resolved.
