symlink_path is absolute, so link is broken when accessed from host
When following the instructions in the readme, the symlink created by fluentd via symlink_path /fluentd/log/docker.log is broken when read from the host. If the symlink were relative it would work. It looks like this would require a change upstream, but reporting here since it's a problem primarily when using the docker image.
There is workaround for this issue:
-
You mount fluent home directory:
docker run -d -p 24224:24224 -v /data:/home/fluent fluent/fluentd -
Define relative path for path and symlink_path:
path ${tag}.*.log symlink_path "${tag}.log"
Home Directory doesn't work. The trick is that you have to set the "working directory" during the container startup with "-w". Then your files will be created in that directory. You can mount this directory as well.
