Create a Syslog Resource

Use the syslog endpoint from the previous step to create a syslog resource:

$ convox rack resources create syslog Url=tcp+tls://logs-01.loggly.com:514 Format="<22>1 {DATE} {GROUP} {SERVICE} {CONTAINER} - [69af9e44-e002-4f67-8777-7b3b93ab0297@41058 tag=\"example-app\" ] {MESSAGE}"

Link the resource to any application whose logs you would like to forward to Papertrail.

$ convox rack resources link syslog-3785 --app example
