Your plugin logs what it sends to screen. There's an actual plugin for this, and you should not do this, or turn it into an option.

In our case, it's causing an infinite loop of transmission.

We have use a Fluent Docker container that collects all Docker container logs and forwards them to SumoLogic. Since fluent-plugin-sumologic logs to stdout what it sends, Fluent then sees stdout for the Fluent container and sends that to SumoLogic and stdout. Which fluent then sees and sends to SumoLogic and stdout. This one log message causes an infinite loop of transmission.

If type is text the wrong key is read in line https://github.com/memorycraft/fluent-plugin-sumologic/blob/master/lib/fluent/plugin/out_sumologic.rb#L62

This should be record['log'] instead of record['message']

We have some super great json/structured logging that we're super pleased with, & have been trying to adopt hosted logging services (like SumoLogic) to complement out inhouse ones. We've found that format json doesn't give us any kind of structured logs when we get into sumo logic.

Not sure what to expect from this format in this plugin, and not sure what to expect from SumoLogic interface. We're very happy using Fluentd for log forwarding, and hope there's some way to get our structured logs into SumoLogic.

Currently, the plugin doesn't work when user doesn't use http_proxy.
It looks this change affect it.

Last gem release was in 2013. Any way we could get an updated version in rubygems?

Hi,

Any plans here for kubernetes support? IE: Send logs to sumo via kubernetes with the correct sourceHost, sourceName and sourceCategory depending on what pod it came from?
