collectorforkubernetes-syslog.yaml

Created Kubernetes Objects

Configuration file collectorforkubernetes-syslog.yaml creates several Kubernetes Objects.

  • Namespace collectorforkubernetes-syslog.
  • ClusterRole collectorforkubernetes-syslog with limited capabilities to get, list and watch deployed objects. Collectord uses this information to enrich logs and stats with kubernetes specific metadata.
  • ServiceAccount collectorforkubernetes-syslog is used to connect to Kubernetes API.
  • ClusterRoleBinding collectorforkubernetes-syslog to bind service account to cluster role.
  • ConfigMap collectorforkubernetes-syslog delivers configuration files for collectord.
  • DaemonSet collectorforkubernetes-syslog allows to deploy collectord on none-master nodes.
  • DaemonSet collectorforkubernetes-syslog-master allows to deploy collectord on master nodes.
  • Deployment collectorforkubernetes-syslog-addon is a single collectord, that needs to forward data from the whole cluster once.
