Ship your app-container logs to Logstash!

This charm relates to any other charm that implements the dockerhost interface. Its a subordinate relation, which means that logspout will attach to the host and launch a container, bind-mounting the docker socket into the container so it can process and ship log events to a remote source, such as logstash!

 juju deploy ~lazypower/bundle/logstash-core
 juju deploy trusty/docker
 juju deploy trusty/logspout
 juju add-relation logspout docker
 juju add-relation logspout logstash

You can test that the entire logging pipeine is working by invoking the generate-logspam action on one of the logspout hosts

 juju action do logspout/0 generate-logspam

You can then visit the kibana interface to see your log messages successfully shipped from the docker host, though an intermediary logstash logrouting service, archived in elasticsearch, and finally - visualized for you in kibana

juju expose kibana
juju status kibana
open http://`public-address`
