Customizing logger¶
The following settings are tunable for the Logger component.
Settings set by logger¶
The following etcd keys are set by the logger component, typically in its /bin/boot script.
| setting | description |
|---|---|
| /deis/logs/host | IP address of the host running logger |
| /deis/logs/port | port used by the logger service (default: 514) |
Settings used by logger¶
The logger component uses no keys from etcd.
Using a custom logger image¶
Note
Instead of using a custom logger image, it is possible to redirect Deis logs to an external location. For more details, see Platform logging.
You can use a custom Docker image for the logger component instead of the image supplied with Deis:
$ deisctl config logger set image=myaccount/myimage:latest
This will pull the image from the public Docker registry. You can also pull from a private registry:
$ deisctl config logger set image=registry.mydomain.org:5000/myaccount/myimage:latest
Be sure that your custom image functions in the same way as the stock logger image shipped with Deis. Specifically, ensure that it sets and reads appropriate etcd keys.
