Fargate Log Driver Support - Sumo Logic

[nikovirtala]

The list of to be supported log drivers on issues #9 and #10 is relatively short, and we as Sumo Logic users want to see that Sumo Logic logging driver is also supported on Fargate.

The current solution to ship logs first into CloudWatch, and use Lambda to stream them to Sumo Logic works, but is unnecessarily complicated compared to a solution that is achieved with native Docker log driver.

It’s also very expensive to have it shipped to cloudwatch. 10 GB / day => $1k/mo cloudwatch bill... when you’re actually just trying to use Sumologic that is

any new update regarding this request ?

I just want to add my voice to the chorus. I understand that Sumo Logic can be utilized with Fargate with the CloudWatch Logs intermediary (as documented here: https://help.sumologic.com/03Send-Data/Collect-from-Other-Data-Sources/Collect_Logs_from_AWS_Fargate), but that's 2 extra pieces of infrastructure where they seemingly don't need to be. ECS supports this already, but Fargate doesn't!

I hope it is an easy port and look forward to this being shipped ASAP!

Looks like the recent fluentbit announcement is related to making log shipping easier to a bunch of 3rd party endpoints:

• Fargate Log Driver Support v2 #10
• https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/centralized-container-logging-fluent-bit/

@mwarkentin

fyi: we are in discussion to make a better integration between Fluent Bit and Sumologic, please refer to the following issue: fluent/fluent-bit#1213

Sumo customers excited to see this coming soon.

The solution for sending logs from Fargate task to Sumo Logic is described on Sumo Logic documentation: https://help.sumologic.com/07Sumo-Logic-Apps/01Amazon_and_AWS/AWS_Fargate_log_collection#A._Create_a_Fargate_launch_type

I tested it briefly this morning and it seems to fill all of our requirements, and thus this feature request can be closed. 💯
