Logspout is a log router for Docker containers that runs inside Docker, attaching to all containers on a host and routing their stdout/stderr logs to remote destinations like syslog. It is a small, mostly stateless log appliance with an extensible module system.

Use cases

  • ship docker container logs to remote syslog
  • route all container stdout and stderr to a log aggregator
  • send docker logs to papertrail over tls
  • collect logs from all containers on a host
  • ignore specific containers when shipping logs

When to choose

  • you want a tiny stateless container that forwards docker logs elsewhere
  • you use syslog-compatible log destinations
  • you need an extensible log routing appliance for docker

When to avoid

  • you need log history, storage, or log file management
  • you need to capture container syslog rather than stdout/stderr
  • you need advanced log processing or filtering
