DEA Logging Agent

DEA Logging Agent is a Cloud Foundry component that opens a STDOUT and STDERR socket connection to a DEA container, reads application logs from these sockets, and forwards them to the Metron agent. The DEA logging agent figures out the socket connections for a particular application by periodically reading the instances.json file.

Usage

deaagent [--logFile <path to log file>] [--config <path to config file>] \
    [--debug=<true|false>] [--cpuprofile <path to desired CPU profile>] \
    [--memprofile <path to desired memory profile>] \
    [--instancesFile <path to DEA instances file>]

Flag	Required	Description
--logFile	No, default: STDOUT	The agent log file.
--config	No, default: config/dea_logging_agent.json	Location of the DEA Logging Agent configuration JSON file.
--debug	No, default: false	Debug logging
--cpuprofile	No, default: no CPU profiling	Write CPU profile to a file.
--memprofile	No, default: no memory profiling	Write memory profile to a file.
--instancesFile	No, default: /var/vcap/data/dea_next/db/instances.json	The DEA instances JSON file
