To get logs from your machine to a remote syslog daemon using remote_syslog
For example, we are forwarding our nginx reverse proxy logs to papertrail using these commands:
docker run -d -v=/var/log/nginx/access.log:/access.log octohost/remote_syslog -p xxxxx -d logs.papertrailapp.com /access.log
docker run -d -v=/var/log/nginx/error.log:/error.log octohost/remote_syslog -p xxxxx -d logs.papertrailapp.com /error.log
You can pull an already built version: docker pull octohost/remote_syslog
Thanks to Papertrail for making the gem available.
