File

The file backend will fetch logs from files on the local filesystem. Those source files can be provided as a list of paths in the configuration file.

Example configuration

backends:
  - file:
      - routes:
          type: nginx
          idPrefix: pod-1-
        labels:
          name: acmehost
          type: Nginx
        path:
          - /var/log/nginx/access.log
      - routes:
          type: apache
          idPrefix: pod-1-
        labels:
          name: acmehost
          type: Apache
        path:
          - /var/log/apache2/access.log
