Docker-Fluentd-Logentries: Forward logs to LogEntries

What

This container accepts logs using the secure forwarding plugin and forwards to a logentries account based on the tag of the log, using a modifed version of fluent-plugin-logentries

docker run --name fluentd_logentries -d -v /var/lib/docker/containers:/var/lib/docker/containers -p 24284 nathanpower/fluentd-logentries

Logentries tokens can be defined in logentries-token.conf (yaml) file.

--- 
application: 
  log: LOGENTRIES_TOKEN
  access: ANOTHER-LOGENTRIES-TOKEN (*)
  error: ANOTHER-LOGENTRIES-TOKEN-1 (*)
system: 
  log: LOGENTRIES_TOKEN
  access: ANOTHER-LOGENTRIES-TOKEN (*)

(*) access and error are optional, if you don't use multiple log per host just provide an app token.
