Currently, to my understanding, kubernetes offers no logging solutions on it's own and it also does not allow one to specify the logging driver when using docker as the container technology due to scope encapsulation concerns.

This leaves folks with the ugly solution of tailing json logs from shared volumes using either fluentd, filebeat, or some other file tailing demon, parsing these, then sending them to the desired storage backend.

My question is, is there any repo or public knowledge config store for this type of scenario for people that have gone through this before? My use case would involve tailing the logs of a nginx docker image and writing out the fluentd/grok pattern myself seems really painful, plus i wouldn't want to struggle on an issue already solved by someone else.

Thanks
