# Papertrail Cookbook
This cookbook configures the Papertrail [remote_syslog2](https://github.com/papertrail/remote_syslog2) agent. To configure `rsyslog` for use with Papertrail, check out the [Papertrail documentation](http://help.papertrailapp.com/kb/configuration/configuring-remote-syslog-from-unixlinux-and-bsdos-x/).
## Supported Platforms
* RHEL 6 / CentOS 6
* RHEL 7 / CentOS 7
* Amazon Linux 2017.03
* Ubuntu 14.04
* Ubuntu 16.04
* Debian 9
This cookbook has been tested on Chef 13.x and 12.21.x.
## Usage
### Quickstart
1. Set the attributes `node['papertrail']['destination_host']`, `node['papertrail']['destination_port']`, and at least one file/directory in `node['papertrail']['files']`.
2. Include `papertrail` in your node's `run_list`:
```json
{
"run_list": [
"recipe[papertrail]"
]
}
```
This will install `remote_syslog2` with the configured settings from the Chef node attributes.
## Recipes & their attributes
This cookbook only has one recipe, which does all setup and configuration. There are a number of attributes you can configure, all of which mirror the configuration items found in the `remote_syslog2` [README](https://github.com/papertrail/remote_syslog2#configuration).
- `node['papertrail']['files']`
**Type:** Array
A list of files or patterns to send to Papertrail. At least one entry is required.
Example:
```ruby
node['papertrail']['files'] = [
'/tmp/test.log',
'/srv/foo.txt',
'/var/log/*.bar'
]
```
To tag a file/path, the structure is slightly different:
```ruby
node['papertrail']['files'] = [
'/tmp/test.log',
'/srv/foo.txt',
{'path' => '/srv/foo.txt', 'tag' => 'my_tag'}
]
```
- `node['papertrail']['exclude_files']`
**Type:** Array
A list of files or patterns to exclude.
Example:
```ruby
node['papertrail']['exclude_files'] = [
'/tmp/exlude.log',
'/srv/dont-include.log',
'/var/log/skip-me.log'
]
```
- `node['papertrail']['exclude_patterns']`
**Type:** Array
A regex of log message patterns to exclude.
Example:
```ruby
node['papertrail']['exclude_patterns'] = ['\d+ things']
```
- `node['papertrail']['hostname']`
**Type:** String
Override the default hostname.
Example:
```ruby
node['papertrail']['hostname'] = 'my-super-awesome-hostname'
```
- `node['papertrail']['destination_host']`, `node['papertrail']['destination_port']`, & `node['papertrail']['destination_protocol']`
**Type:** String (`destination_host` & `destination_protocol`)
**Type:** Integer (`destination_port`)
The Papertrail host and port to send logs to, and the protocol to use. These are required. Destination and port default to empty, while Protocol defaults to `tls`.
Example:
```ruby
node['papertrail']['destination_host'] = 'logsN.papertrailapp.com'
node['papertrail']['destination_port'] = XXXXX
node['papertrail']['destination_protocol'] = 'tls'
```
- `node['papertrail']['new_file_check_interval']`
**Type:** Integer
Overrides the default file check interval.
Example:
```ruby
node['papertrail']['new_file_check_interval'] = 30
```
- `node['papertrail']['severity']`
Overrides the default `remote_syslog2` severity level.
Example:
```ruby
node['papertrail']['severity'] = 'warn'
```
- `node['papertrail']['facility']`
Overrides the default `remote_syslog2` facility.
Example:
```ruby
node['papertrail']['facility'] = 'local7'
```
- `node['papertrail']['version']`
**Type:** String
Use a different version of `remote_syslog` than the default.
Example:
```ruby
node['papertrail']['version'] = '0.18'
```
