Conmon should support Fluentd Forward as a logging driver

Open OZoneGuy opened this issue 9 months ago • 1 comments

To become more in line with docker features, conmon should support fluentd log driver.

I have some code I have been toying with and willing to create a PR, but I wanted to know approach would acceptable for this repo.

  1. Completely hand rolled implementation of the forward protocol.

  2. Use a library for the protocol but manage the sockets and connection ourselves.

  3. Use the fluent-bit library.

For approaches 2 and 3, what canonical way of adding libraries to this project?

And it has been a long time since I wrote c, so I will need some guidance on this project's practices.

Yes, I think it makes sense to add Docker-compatible fluentd logging support. To minimize runtime dependencies I'd prefer 1.
