Ok so I’ve been having a problem with logging for a while now. I use a centralized logging platform (Seq) to try and aggregate the logs of the containers I run but most of the log messages come through as errors. This is because the containers would stream their output to stderr and even though it’s formatted it comes as one big error message.
Example:
[2025-01-06 18:17:23] INFO Registering with TVA backend, encode Job status: available
That’s all one big error message I receive even though it’s an INFO message. And every container is different. Their error message is formatted differently, some goes to stdout instead of stderr, some actually work.
Is there a piece of software that I can run that will intercept these messages and convert them to GELF?
Thanks
Generally no, there is no one piece of software that can magically handle the quirks of each other piece of software. If there is, someone is making a lot of money by selling it.
If you want to handle your uncommon output formats, you’ll need to define them in your log processor.
Well I can get the logs in Seq. I don’t know how to process the logs that come in so they are at the right level, timestamp, message, etc. Guess I look into it tomorrow…
