Recipe Syslog To Treasure Data

Looking to get data out of syslog 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 syslog
port 5140
bind 0.0.0.0
tag system.local
</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..
