# random-logger
Docker image for a random log generator, based on Alpine Linux.
## What is this?
This image will execute a container which will generate four random log messages:
* `2018-03-02T22:33:27-06:00 ERROR something happened in this execution.`
* `2018-03-02T22:33:27-06:00 INFO takes the value and converts it to string.`
* `2018-03-02T22:33:27-06:00 WARN variable not in use.`
* `2018-03-02T22:33:27-06:00 DEBUG first loop completed.`
## Why this Image?
I've had the necessity to create a random logger to test log configurations with containers, this helped me out to do it easily.
## What is inside of this repo?
In this git repository you will find the docker image definitions for the random Logger for Alpine Linux
* `Dockerfile` -> Contains image definition.
* `entrypoint.sh` -> Shell code to generate log messages.
## How do I use this image?
To use this image you must do as follows:
```bash
# you can use tags latest
docker pull chentex/random-logger:latest
# use different intervals to print logs every random(100, 400) milliseconds
docker run chentex/random-logger:latest 100 400
# use the third parameter so limit the number of loglines (after generating the lines the container will stop).
# if not set it runs infinite
docker run chentex/random-logger:latest 100 400 100
# to run the image just execute
docker run -d chentex/random-logger:latest
```
You will have now a docker container running and generating log messages, locate it running:
```bash
docker ps
```
You can see the logs using this command
```bash
docker logs <- container-id ->
```
## How do I build this images?
First things first, you can find these docker images in `chentex/random-logger`
but you can also build a specific version on your own, you only need:
* docker
* git
Clone this repo
`git clone https://github.com/chentex/random-logger.git`
Go to the folder in your terminal and type this:
```bash
# cd into folder
cd random-logger
# Then build the new image
docker build -f Dockerfile .
```
If you want to tag your image use the following command
```bash
docker build -f Dockerfile -t yourbase/yourname:version .
```
