Kong plugin designed to log API transactions to Splunk using the Splunk HTTP collector.
Kong provides many great logging tools out of the box, this is a modified version of the Kong HTTP logging plugin that has been refactored and tailored to work with Splunk.
Example Log Transaction:
Kong >= 0.12.x
Recommended:
$ luarocks install kong-splunk-log
Other:
$ git clone https://github.com/Optum/kong-splunk-log.git /path/to/kong/plugins/kong-splunk-log
$ cd /path/to/kong/plugins/kong-splunk-log
$ luarocks make *.rockspec
The plugin requires an environment variable SPLUNK_HOST . This is how we define the host="" splunk field in the example log picture embedded above in our README.
Example Plugin Configuration:
If not already set, it can be done so as follows:
$ export SPLUNK_HOST="gateway.company.com"
One last step is to make the environment variable accessible by an nginx worker. To do this, simply add this line to your nginx.conf
env SPLUNK_HOST;
