CPU Usage is bursting when stream of logs

[Dean-Christian-Armada]

We have an nginx container that accepts hundreds of request per second and logspout is causing our CPU to burst with the stream of logs it produces. We already applied:

TAIL=0
BACKLOG=true

But still the issue exists. Are there any other solutions?

Take note:

• We are combining logspout with logstash using this image.. bekt/logspout-logstash:master
• We are using Docker Swarm Architecture

@Dean-Christian-Armada what transport are you using? tcp or udp? are you also using tls? I have also noticed high cpu usage when sending a ton of logs. logspout may not be the ideal solution when a dealing with an excessive amount of logs. In this case, it may be best to use the dockerd logging drivers to send to a remote host.
