fluentd-docker-logs is a Docker container that uses fluentd to collect logs from other Docker containers and forward those logs to your Logz.io account.
To use this container, you'll set environment variables in your docker run command.
fluentd-docker-logs uses those environment variables to generate a valid fluentd configuration for the container.
fluentd-docker-logs mounts docker.sock and the Docker logs directory to the container itself, allowing fluentd to collect the logs and metadata.
fluentd-docker-logs ships logs only.
