Please create a service file rvice under your /etc/systemd/system directory by running the command below: sudo vi rvice We are going to use a systemd service which will be responsible for collecting the journald daemon logs and forwarding them to Loggly without excluding all the attached metadata. Note: This setup is supported by systemd so please ensure you are on the latest Linux distribution that supports systemd and systemctl commands to start/stop/restart the system services. For example, when docker is forwarding its logs to journald, the CONTAINER_ID and CONTAINER_NAME are captured, which is not the case with the syslog approach. The journald to syslog to loggly approach is not optimal as it loses all the good metadata that journald contains. This setup is useful for those who want to bypass syslog altogether when sending their journald daemon logs or docker container logs using journald docker logging driver. The following instructions provide one scenario for sending logs to Loggly. In general, any method to send logs from a system or application to an external source can be adapted to send logs to Loggly. Loggly provides the infrastructure to aggregate and normalize log events so they are available to explore interactively, build visualizations, or create threshold-based alerting.
