Can I scrap logs from nginx docker stdout, from a docker swarm ? about prometheus-nginxlog-exporter HOT 6 CLOSED

Not currently. Given that this request has received some ❤️'s by now, I'll try and see if I can get this implemented.

An alternative approach is including nginx and the exporter in the same image and then directly scrape from the nginx container. I did this experimentally here. Probably not a best practice but may be handy in some situations. There is likely a lot of potential for improvement in the simple wrapper script I used.

Just documenting another approach. I handled that using the host as a "bridge". When running nginx's container I used -v /host/path/access.log:/var/log/access.log and on nginxlog's I used -v /host/path/access.log:/mnt/access.log:ro.

I did something similar to @leobasilio - I handle my nginx logs to a volume for nginx,

volumes:
- ./nginx/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
- ./nginx/conf.d:/etc/nginx/conf.d
- ./nginx/certs:/etc/nginx/certs
- ./nginx/logs:/var/log/nginx/

then in my nginxlog exporter config in my docker-compose I mapped that volume paths as follows:

volumes:
- ./nginx/logs:/var/log/nginx
- ./nginxlogs:/etc/

All is working now.
