Description

This module uses a feature of systemd to trivially run multiple instances of honeytail with different configuration. This allows you to ingest application and web server logs residing on the same machine.

Usage

This example below shows the configuration required to collect logs from MySQL/MariaDB. Note: There is some configuration required inside of MySQL to get the most out of Honeycomb. Refer to the honeytail docs for this information: https://docs.honeycomb.io/getting-data-in/integrations/databases/mysql/logs/
