Relies on an external daemon, a logging side car or setting up application level logging
Rotating logs, separating log streams and monitoring storage and resource consumption demands constant attention
Few options support nodeless clusters such as EKS on Fargate and local Kubernetes® clusters
Papetrail offers rKubeLog, an open source connector that forwards logs to SolarWinds® Papertrail™ from within a Kubernetes cluster without using a daemon or setting up application-level logging or a logging sidecar. rKubelog uses the Kubernetes Control Plane API, which is already running in your cluster, to fetch logs from all the services running in the cluster, tag them, and forward them directly to Papertrail. Setup is a breeze. We provide a template, just add your Papertrail ID and key and deploy the template to each cluster.

There is no need to worry about running out of storage, rotating logs, separating log streams, or increasing resource consumption due to logging. It is also very cost effective, eliminating the need to pay for additional storage or resources to accommodate a logging sidecar, Fluentd, an agent, or a daemon. Since the rKubeLog connector fetches logs directly from the services running in the cluster, it is dynamic and automatically picks up new deployments in the cluster and drops old ones. Just add your Papertrail ID and key to the template we provide and deploy it to each cluster.

Using the rKubeLog connector, tag and filter logs automatically. Search all log messages from your Kubernetes clusters in the Papertrail event viewer. Quickly transform searches into alerts by saving them and assigning a schedule. To proactively identify potential issues, schedule alerts to run every minute, hour or day to monitor critical metrics. Send notifications via email, Slack, PagerDuty, or Campfire, to keep your entire team up to date. Integrate alerts into your own monitoring tools via custom HTTP web hooks.
