Logflare Agent

About

This Elixir app watches a file and sends new lines to Logflare via the API.

Usage

To install stand alone:

• Install Erlang
• Install Elixir
• git clone https://github.com/Logflare/logflare-agent.git
• mix deps.get

Configure it.

mix release

_build/dev/rel/logflare_agent/bin/logflare_agent start

Optionally to start the agent at bootup:

crontab -e

Add this line to your crontab and save:

@reboot /FULL_PATH_TO_INSTALL/_build/dev/rel/logflare_agent/bin/logflare_agent start

Configure

Change the file to watch and the source key in ./config/config.exs

config :logflare_agent,
  sources: [
    %{
      path: "/home/logflare/app_release/logflare/var/log/erlang.log.1",
      source: "SOURCE_ID"
    },
    %{
      path: "/home/logflare/app_release/logflare/var/log/erlang.log.2",
      source: "SOURCE_ID"
    },
    %{
      path: "/home/logflare/app_release/logflare/var/log/erlang.log.3",
      source: "SOURCE_ID"
    },
    %{
      path: "/home/logflare/app_release/logflare/var/log/erlang.log.4",
      source: "SOURCE_ID"
    },
    %{
      path: "/home/logflare/app_release/logflare/var/log/erlang.log.5",
      source: "SOURCE_ID"
    }
  ],
  url: "https://api.logflare.app",
  api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY"

Your sources can be different with each file. This example is useful when watching Erlang log files.
