Using custom Docker log drivers with Rancher

there was a similar question in the forum here (still unanswered)

Using log_driver with Gelf instead of logspunk

Hi, I found this post Docker Logging Driver but its closed, so I couldnt continue on there but its a related issue… It seems that using log_driver with Gelf would be a good way to substitute the requirement of Logspout, wouldnt it? Has anyone attempted this? Where are rancher itnernal containers sending their logs? is there a way to configure these to also use a log driver? (maybe a cluster/env wide log driver option?) On a semi-related note, is it possible/planned to be able to change cata…

@alecghica maybe using rancher-compose directly (instead of docker-compose) would make it work?
I am quoting “rancher-compose should already work with it” from @ibuildthecloud

Docker Logging Driver

You’re in luck, we already do! Rancher Labs has contributed a bunch to the log driver (syslog in 1.6 and rollover in 1.8) so we added support for those before docker-compose did. I don’t think there is support in the UI, but rancher-compose should already work with it. Please let me know if it doesn’t work.

hey rancher folks … could you please cast some light on this topic?
