Configure Sumo Logic

The Log Export Container uses a fluentd sumologic output plugin. In order to enable it you need to specify LOG_EXPORT_CONTAINER_OUTPUT=sumologic and provide the following variables:

  • SUMOLOGIC_ENDPOINT. SumoLogic HTTP Collector URL
  • SUMOLOGIC_SOURCE_CATEGORY. Source Category metadata field within SumoLogic, for example: /prod/sdm/logs

Plugin changes

The sumologic output plugin supports multiple configurations. Please refer to output-sumologic.conf

In case you want to specify different parameters and customize the output plugin, download output-sumologic.conf, make your modifications, and pass the file to the container. For example:

docker run -p 5140:5140 \
  -v /path-to-your/output-sumologic.conf:/fluentd/etc/output-sumologic.conf \
  -e LOG_EXPORT_CONTAINER_INPUT=$LOG_EXPORT_CONTAINER_INPUT \
  -e LOG_EXPORT_CONTAINER_OUTPUT=sumologic \
  -e SUMOLOGIC_ENDPOINT=$SUMOLOGIC_ENDPOINT \
  -e SUMOLOGIC_SOURCE_CATEGORY=$SUMOLOGIC_SOURCE_CATEGORY log-export-container
