gravwell/federator repository overview

The Gravwell Federator acts as a transport and trust barrier for Gravwell ingest. The Federator can span networks, control tag usage, provide alternate authentication, and even act as a cache or cryptographic transport.

For more information on configuring the Gravwell Federator see https://docs.gravwell.io/ingesters/federators/federator.html⁠.

Refer to Gravwell's Docker guide⁠ for information on how to deploy ingester containers.

Note: Because this is a Linux application, we strongly recommend running under Docker on a Linux host. Performance may suffer on other operating systems. MacOS users cannot access containers directly by IP, because the containers are actually run within a Linux VM. You can either use netcat from within a Docker container (either the same container or a new one), or forward the appropriate ingester ports to the host when launching the Gravwell container
