Doradus Logstash Dockerfile

This is a highly configurable Doradus Logstash image running logstash, custom Doradus GEM and published to the public Docker Hub Registry. The docker container logs are read by mounting the directory containing your Docker data (/var/log/ in the below example) into the containers /host/var/log. The doradus-docker-logstash container monitors the mounted directory, tailing the log files, queueing up batches of records and when it either reaches the maximum batch size or when the maximum idle time has elapsed then docker-doradus-logstash would then write the log events to Doradus for enhanced performance reasons. The image employs the Doradus-logstash GEM to interact with Doradus which is characterized by batch_size, batch_wait and can be viewed at https://git.labs.dell.com/projects/BD/repos/logstash-output-batched_http/browse
