differences between log-driver splunk
vs splunk-logging-plugin
#70
Comments
Hi @zerog2k, the Splunk logging driver is the older version vs splunk-logging-plugin is newer and has more reading capabilities. |
Hi @mwang2016, could you tell us more about what reading capabilities the plugin has over the built-in driver? Comparing the README with the Docker docs for the built-in Splunk driver, they appear to be nearly identical, aside from the plugin having a few additional environment variables. Looking at the code (I don't really know Go, so I'm kinda muddling here), I don't see a ton of differences, aside from additional setup for the driver, some telemetry and refactoring. |
Is there some documentation about the functional differences between the
splunk
logging driver, which docker docs mention here: https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/logging/splunk/vs the
splunk-logging-plugin
(the one from this repo?)I did look around, however the only difference I can find (indirect) reference to is that the
splunk-logging-plugin
might allow for local container log inspection (i.e.docker logs CONTAINERNAME
) whereas thesplunk
driver may not, per#2
