Example: Using the loggly() driver

To use the loggly() destination, the only mandatory parameter is your user token. The following example sends every log from the system() source to your Loggly account.

log {
    source { system(); };
    destination { loggly(token("<USER-TOKEN-AS-PROVIDED-BY-LOGGLY>")); };
};

The following example uses TLS encryption. Before using it, download the CA certificate of Loggly and copy it to your hosts (for example, into the /etc/ssl/certs/ directory.

log {
    destination {
        loggly(token("<USER-TOKEN-AS-PROVIDED-BY-LOGGLY>") port(6514)
            tls(peer-verify(required-trusted) ca-dir('/etc/ssl/certs'))
        );
    };
};

The following example parses the access logs of an Apache webserver from a file and sends them to Loggly in JSON format.

log {
    source { file("/var/log/apache2/access.log" flags(no-parse)); };
    parser { apache-accesslog-parser(); };
    destination {
        loggly(token("<USER-TOKEN-AS-PROVIDED-BY-LOGGLY>")
           tag(apache)
           template("$(format-json .apache.* timestamp=${ISODATE})"));
    };
}
