Recipe Nginx To Treasure Data

Looking to get data out of nginx into treasure data? You can do that with fluentd in 10 minutes!
Here is how:
$ gem install fluentd
$ gem install fluent-plugin-td
$ touch fluentd.conf
fluentd.conf should look like this (just copy and paste this into fluentd.conf):
<source>
  @type tail
  path /var/log/httpd-access.log #...or where you placed your Apache access log
  pos_file /var/log/td-agent/httpd-access.log.pos # This is where you record file position
  tag nginx.access #fluentd tag!
  format nginx # Do you have a custom format? You can write your own regex.
</source>
​
<match **>
  @type tdlog
  apikey <Treasure Data API key> # You get your API key by signing up for Treasure Data
  auto_create_table
  buffer_type file
  buffer_path /var/log/td-agent/buffer/td
</match>
After that, you can start fluentd and everything should work:
$ fluentd -c fluentd.conf
Of course, this is just a quick example. If you are thinking of running fluentd in production, consider using td-agent, the enterprise version of Fluentd packaged and maintained by Treasure Data, Inc..
