Verify that you are using the Docker experimental latest docker version, 1.10.0-dev. Write it down, as you will need it later for configuring the Splunk Logging Driver. Enable it with Global Settings and add one New Token. After the token is created, you will find the Token Value which is a guid. Open Splunk’s Web UI, go to the Settings → Data Inputs. (Note: In Splunk Cloud you need to work with support to enable HTTP Event Collector). You need to first enable HTTP Event Collector.

I am going to use the latest Splunk available, which I have installed in my network running on address 192.168.1.123. The driver offers a bunch of additional options for enriching your events as they go to Splunk, including support for format tags, as well as labels, and env. Using the driver, you can configure your host to directly send all logs sent to stdout to Splunk Enterprise or to a clustered Splunk Cloud environment.

Note if you are running on OSX or Windows you’ll need to have a dedicated Linux VM. You can get the new Splunk Logging Driver after installing Docker version 1.10 and higher. If you are not familiar yet with the Event Collector check out this blog post. The driver uses the HTTP Event Collector to allow forwarder-less collection of your Docker logs. Today following up on Docker’s press release, we’re announcing early availability in the Docker experimental branch of a new log driver for Splunk. Previously I blogged on using the Splunk Universal Forwarder to collect logs from Docker containers. HTTP Event Collector makes it possible to cover more cases of collecting logs including from Docker. With Splunk 6.3 we introduced HTTP Event Collector which offers a simple, high volume way to send events from applications directly to Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud for analysis.
