Sending logs to external logger with OpenShift metadata

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We have an internally hosted Splunk cluster that is used to aggregate and search through our application logs
  • Trying to understand what the full capabilities are for getting my OpenShift-hosted application logs in Splunk, with high-fidelity metadata
  • Logs are missing OpenShift context (pod name, deployment name, app name, etc.). Logs are being “packaged” up in a wrapper json object.
  • Ideally our apps log message would be the only part of the event, and we could leverage the json syntax highlighting, search enhancements, etc.

Environment

  • Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
    • 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 3.10
