maxchen021/syslog-ng repository overview

⁠syslog-ng

This is a simple syslog-ng docker image. It support writing log to 2 different format:

• /var/log/syslog-ng/$HOST/$HOST.log (default)
• /var/log/syslog-ng/$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY/$HOST.log

⁠Usage

Run the following command to start the container:

docker run -p 514:514 -p 514:514/udp -d maxchen021/syslog-ng

Run the follow command if you want to use this log format: /var/log/syslog-ng/$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY/$HOST.log

docker run -p 514:514 -p 514:514/udp -d maxchen021/syslog-ng logformat=date

You can keep the log data separate from the container (replace /mnt/syslog-ng with your chosen path):

docker run -v /mnt/syslog-ng:/var/log/syslog-ng -p 514:514 -p 514:514/udp -d maxchen021/syslog-ng

You can also supply your own syslog-ng.conf file:

docker run -v /custom-syslog-ng.conf-path:/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf -p 514:514 -p 514:514/udp -d maxchen021/syslog-ng
