fluent-cron is a small command-line wrapper that reports errors to Fluentd if the script exits with an exit status other than zero.

It has forked from raven-cron.

Install with following commands. Dependent packages will be installed fluent-logger and msgpack-python at the same time.

$ sudo pip install git+https://github.com/y-ken/fluent-cron.git

usage: fluent-cron [-h] [--config FLUENT_CONFIG] [--version] cmd [cmd ...]

Wraps commands and reports failing ones to Fluentd.

positional arguments:
  cmd                     The command to run

optional arguments:
  -h, --help              show this help message and exit
  --config FLUENT_CONFIG  Fluentd connection options
  --version               show program's version number and exit

FLUENT_CONFIG can also be passed as an environment variable.
