Kubernetes Filebeat Container

==============================================================================

This is a simple container which just runs bash and has a bunch of useful

shell tools.

Configuration

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two environment variables are required:

* LOGSTASH_HOST

* LOGSTASH_PORT (defaults to 5044)

Running the Container

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

### Processing container logs

By default, with no arguments, the config file `config/containers.yml` will be

used, and the logs for all containers running on the host will be sent to your

Logstash service.

You should mount these volumes into this container:

* /var/log

* /var/lib/docker/containers

A sample Kubernetes DaemonSet configuration is included in the `examples/kubernetes`

directory.  Run this the usual way:

`kubectl create -f examples/kubernetes/filebeat.yml`.

### Processing CoreOS journald logs

The second way to run this container is with command-line arugments to activate

the `config/stdin.yml` config file, and pipe data into it.  This was designed

to run as a CoreOS unit, and take input from **journald**.

A sample unit file is included in the `examples/coreos` directory.
