I am just getting started using graylog, and am honing my logging.
I have a large dump from an external tool im using in my data pipeline that
I want so send as a Debug-level single log item.
I'm interfacing with graylog with nc, piping a formatted string, of GELF
format, to it (ip address obfuscated below, of course):
echo "{\"version\":
\"$GRAYLOG_VERSION\",\"host\":\"$APP_HOST\",\"short_message\":\"$SHORT_MESSAGE\",\"full_message\":\"$j\",\"level\":$LOG_LEVEL,\"log_type\":\"$LOG_TYPE\"}"
| nc -w 3 -u 00.00.00.00 12201
I see in the docs there is a direction, and further info about a structure
to prepend, but I'm not clear WHERE this should go, like directly before
the { or what, any separators? An example would be really helpful:
You can define chunks of messages by prepending a byte header to a GELF
message including a message ID and sequence count/number to reassemble the
message later
