flog is a fake log generator built in Go that produces realistic log entries in several common formats, including Apache common, Apache combined, Apache error, RFC3164, RFC5424, and JSON. It was created to help developers and operators test systems that consume log data, such as log pipelines, SIEMs, or streaming platforms like Amazon Kinesis. Users can control the output by specifying the log format, output file path, log type (stdout, plain log file, or gzip-compressed file), and either...

...It's not meant for managing log files or looking at history. It is just a means to get your logs out to live somewhere else, where they belong. For now it only captures stdout and stderr, but a module to collect container syslog is planned. Logspout is a very small Docker container (15.2MB virtual, based on Alpine). The simplest way to use logspout is to just take all logs and ship to a remote syslog. Just pass a syslog URI (or several comma separated URIs) as the command. Here we show use of the tls encrypted transport option in the URI. You can tell logspout to ignore specific containers by setting an environment variable when starting your container.

RancherOS is the smallest, easiest way to run Docker in production. Every process in RancherOS is a container managed by Docker. This includes system services such as udev and syslog. Because it only includes the services necessary to run Docker, RancherOS is significantly smaller than most traditional operating systems. By removing unnecessary libraries and services, requirements for security patches and other maintenance are also reduced. This is possible because, with Docker, users typically package all necessary libraries into their containers. ...
