Logentries logging driver

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

The logentries logging driver sends container logs to the Logentries server.
Usage

Some options are supported by specifying --log-opt as many times as needed:

logentries-token: specify the logentries log set token
line-only: send raw payload only

Configure the default logging driver by passing the --log-driver option to the Docker daemon:

$ dockerd --log-driver=logentries

To set the logging driver for a specific container, pass the --log-driver option to docker run:

$ docker run --log-driver=logentries …

Before using this logging driver, you need to create a new Log Set in the Logentries web interface and pass the token of that log set to Docker:

$ docker run --log-driver=logentries --log-opt logentries-token=abcd1234-12ab-34cd-5678-0123456789ab

Options

Users can use the --log-opt NAME=VALUE flag to specify additional Logentries logging driver options.
logentries-token

You need to provide your log set token for logentries driver to work:

$ docker run --log-driver=logentries --log-opt logentries-token=abcd1234-12ab-34cd-5678-0123456789ab

line-only

You could specify whether to send log message wrapped into container data (default) or to send raw log line

$ docker run --log-driver=logentries --log-opt logentries-token=abcd1234-12ab-34cd-5678-0123456789ab --log-opt line-only=true
