The logging agent is an application that is based on fluentd, and both Linux and Windows machines are supported. It allows the streaming of logs from common third-party applications and system software to Stackdriver Logging. The agent is included in the images for App Engine and GKE. For Compute Engine and Amazon EC2, it needs to be installed. Installation of the agent on Linux is very simple, and requires the following two commands to be executed:
curl -sSO https://dl.google.com/cloudagents/install-logging-agent.shsudo bash install-logging-agent.sh
By default, the agent streams logs for predefined applications. google-fluentd.conf can be modified to indicate additional logs that should be streamed.
