Allow different Logging Configuration per Accessory, different that Application or the default one

[joaquindiez]

I can setup the loggin driver, but is apply to all the containers that I am starting, Traefick, web, db,. ( all the accessories)

I think will be more powerful to being able to setup the logging drive to each container, independly

like this

service: my_app

image: image

servers:
   web:
     hosts:
      - aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
     options:
        network: "private" # This is important!

registry:
  username: user
  password:
    - KAMAL_REGISTRY_PASSWORD

env:
  clear:
    DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_USERNAME: "postgres"
    DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_URL: "jdbc:postgresql://my_app-db:5432/my_awesome_app_production"
  secret:
    - DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_PASSWORD

accessories:
  db:
    image: postgres:16
    host: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
    env:
      clear:
        POSTGRES_USER: "postgres"
        POSTGRES_DB: "my_awesome_app_production" # The database will be created automatically on first boot.
      secret:
        - POSTGRES_PASSWORD
    directories:
      - data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    options:
      network: "private" # This is important!
     logging:
   driver: syslog
      options:
        syslog-address: "tcp+tls://other_server.com"
        tag: "my.app.kamal.db:"

traefik:
  options:
    network: "private"
  logging:
    driver: syslog
    options:
      syslog-address: "tcp+tls://xxxxxx.com"
      tag: "my.app.kamal.traefik:"

logging:
  driver: syslog
  options:
    syslog-address: "tcp+tls://xxxxxx.com"
    tag: "my.app.kamal.app:"

@joaquindiez It looks like you can do this with docker options but it's not as integrated as you're mentioning within Kamal. https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/logging/configure/

What's the use case behind logging to different places?

[joaquindiez]

you can have a different setup so maybe your application logs are manage but one provider Datadog ( for example) but you accesory logs by another one, betterStack, for example, and to be better manage they need different configuration to be labeled corretly by the provider so you can obtain better insights from your logs
