LogDNA Orb

LogDNA is a highly scalable log management solution that indexes, aggregates, and analyzes log data. The CircleCI Orb plugin enables CircleCI logs to be sent directly to LogDNA. Learn more about LogDNA: logdna.com

Requirements

• A LogDNA account. Create a LogDNA account here
• A CircleCI account. Create a CircleCI account here.

Usage

To use the LogDNA Orb, reference it in your project and then use one of the included commands:

• notify: Notify LogDNA of the Build Event
• report: Report the Status of the Build
• enablek8slogging: Enable Kubernetes Logging via LogDNA Agent
  • Requirement: kubectl must be installed before the execution of the command

Documentation for each method is available inline in orb.yml.

Here's a very simple example of a CircleCI Config using LogDNA Orb:

version: 2.1
orbs:
    logdna: logdna/[email protected]
jobs:
  build:
    machine: true
    environment:
      LOGDNA_KEY: {{ Your LogDNA Ingestion Key Here }}
    steps:
      - checkout
      # Notify LogDNA @ the Start of the Job via cURL:
      - logdna/notify
      # Enable Kubernetes Logging via LogDNA Agent
      - logdna/enablek8slogging

     # The Rest of Your Build Steps...

     # Report to LogDNA @ the End of the Job via cURL:
      - run:
          name: Export Failure
          command: echo 'export FAILURE=true' >> ${BASH_ENV}
          when: on_fail
      - run:
          name: Export Success
          command: echo 'export FAILURE=false' >> ${BASH_ENV}
          when: on_success
      - logdna/report:
          failure: ${FAILURE}

Release Process

To validate any changes to the Orb locally you can use the included validate.sh shell script in the repository, it will pack the individual files together to a proper Orb and then run the validate command from the circleci cli tool on the result.

cat validate.sh
#!/bin/sh

circleci config pack src | circleci orb validate -

All published branches will trigger publishing under a alpha reference under the logdna namespace for the logdna Orb. It can be referenced as follows:

logdna/logdna@dev:${CIRCLE_BRANCH}
e.g.
logdna/logdna@dev:master

To release a properly tagged version of the Orb push a semantic versioned git tag to Github and the workflow to release this version will be started.

git tag 1.2.3 -m "Release version 1.2.3 of the LogDNA CircleCI Orb"
git push --tags

How to test

Before tagging the tree for release we need to perform some testing. The easiest way is to set the version of the Orb in your .circleci/config.yml file to the floating tag, i.e. logdna/logdna@dev:master for the master branch, and run the job. Then look for any regressions, if not we are good to go and you can tag the tree and push to Github.
