Logging
Experimental work in progress.
Logging with Fluentd and Elastiscsearch
To enable logging of the stdout and stderr output of every Docker container in
a Kubernetes cluster set the shell environment
variable FLUENTD_ELASTICSEARCH to true e.g. in bash:
export FLUENTD_ELASTICSEARCH=true
This will instantiate a Fluentd instance on each node which will collect all the Dcoker container log files. The collected logs will be targetted at an Elasticsearch instance assumed to be running on the local node and accepting log information on port 9200. This can be accomplished by writing a pod specification and service sepecificaiton to define an Elasticsearch service (more informaiton to follow shortly in the contrib directory).
Logging with Fluentd and Google Compute Platform
To enable logging of Docker contains in a cluster using Google Compute
Platfrom set the shell environment variable FLUENTD_GCP to true.
