#loggregator_consumer

Loggregator consumer is a library that allows an application developer to set up a connection to a loggregator server, and begin receiving log messages from it. It includes the ability to tail logs as well as get the recent logs.

#DEPRECATED This library has been deprecated in favor of noaa. Use noaa to consume logs and metrics from the Loggregator system.

loggregator_consumer talks to the Traffic Controller via the endpoints /tail, /dump, and /recent which will also be deprecated in the near future.

#WARNING This library does not work with Go 1.3 through 1.3.2, due to a bug in the standard libraries.

Usage

See the included sample application. In order to use the sample, you will have to export the following environment variables:

• CF_ACCESS_TOKEN - You can get this value from reading the AccessToken looking at your cf configuration file ($ cat ~/.cf/config.json). Example:

export CF_ACCESS_TOKEN="bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.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.mAaOJthCotW763lf9fysygqdES_Mz1KFQ3HneKbwY4VJx-ARuxxiLh8l_8Srx7NJBwGlyEtfYOCBcIdvyeDCiQ0wT78Zw7ZJYFjnJ5-ZkDy5NbMqHbImDFkHRnPzKFjJHip39jyjAZpkFcrZ8_pUD8XxZraqJ4zEf6LFdAHKFBM"

* APP_GUID - You can get this value from running `$ CF_TRACE=true cf app dora` and then extracting the app guid from the request URL. Example:

export APP_GUID=55fdb274-d6c9-4b8c-9b1f-9b7e7f3a346c

Then you can run the sample app like this:

export GOPATH=pwd export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin go get github.com/cloudfoundry/loggregator_consumer/sample_consumer sample_consumer
