Option to set a path to log file?

[ericsouza]

is there any way to set a path to logs? So I can use filebeat to collect from it?

Hi @ericsouza!
imgproxy is a 12-factor app so it writes its logs to STDOUT only: https://12factor.net/logs

Hey @DarthSim thanks for the quick answer.

Do you think is there any way to convert the json logging format to GELF format?

Context:

At my company we use graylog and need the GELF formatted log. So I was going to use filebeat as sidecar to improxy running on k8s and read logs from imgproxy. The thing is that filebeats require a log file as input.

If you're asking about a tool that can convert imgproxy log to GELF then I don't know since I'm not familiar with graylog.

If you are asking about adding GELF support to imgproxy, then it's pretty possible since imgproxy uses logrus that supports custom formatters. PRs are always welcome 😉 You can find some examples here: https://github.com/imgproxy/imgproxy/blob/master/logger/formatter.go. Or you can simplify and modify logrus built-in JSON formatter: https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus/blob/master/json_formatter.go
