I meant to add that, but essentially we map /var/log in the container to /var/log on the host, and then use rsyslogd to push that into a centralised logstash.

Do you have log rotation?

I use Papertrail but if you want something free...just run Logstash + Kibana + Elastic Search.

Running a log shipping agent on every docker instance isn't 'free' but it lets you clearly label and manage your logs nicely.

Do you have to take pains to not accidentally log user and secure information to a third party when you use Papertrail?

That seems involved and a long time to set up, but I will check it out. Thanks.

I only use Papertrail for personal projects that don't have any real security requirements. $7/month is alot less hassle than the time it takes to setup Logstash+Kibana+ES.

However, for anything with security requirements I'd run Logstash+Kibana+ES over a VPN.
