scollector-docker's Issues

scollector: Not generating syslog or not sending data #1572

Hi Diyan,
Can you please help.. I posted the below on bosun's github issue tracker but since I am in need of urgent help posting to you to since you seem to have been working with this already.

I have a vagrant + docker container setup. There are a total of 7 docker containers running-

• 6 docker containers have different services/application with 1 container having scollector installation (installed via dockerfile such as- FROM golang ADD . /go/src/main RUN go get bosun.org/cmd/scollector
• the 7th container has Bosun server (on localhost:8070, installation from docker registry)

scollector -h "http://localhost:8070" 2016/02/03 00:44:11 error: log_unix.go:10: Unix syslog delivery error 2016/02/03 00:44:11 error: main.go:247: stat /scollector: no such file or directory 2016/02/03 00:44:11 info: main.go:195: OpenTSDB host: http://localhost:8070 2016/02/03 00:44:11 error: interval.go:62: c_systemd: dial unix /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: connect: no such file or directory 2016/02/03 00:44:11 error: queue.go:105: Post http://localhost:8070/api/put: dial tcp [::1]:8070: getsockopt: connection refused 2016/02/03 00:44:11 info: queue.go:124: restored 39, sleeping 5s 2016/02/03 00:44:16 error: queue.go:105: Post http://localhost:8070/api/put: dial tcp [::1]:8070: getsockopt: connection refused 2016/02/03 00:44:16 info: queue.go:124: restored 500, sleeping 5s 2016/02/03 00:44:21 error: queue.go:105: Post http://localhost:8070/api/put: dial tcp [::1]:8070: getsockopt: connection refused 2016/02/03 00:44:21 info: queue.go:124: restored 500, sleeping 5s 2016/02/03 00:44:26 error: interval.go:62: c_systemd: dial unix /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: connect: no such file or directory 2016/02/03 00:44:27 error: queue.go:105: Post http://localhost:8070/api/put: dial tcp [::1]:8070: getsockopt: connection refused 2016/02/03 00:44:27 info: queue.go:124: restored 500, sleeping 5s ^C2016/02/03 00:44:31 error: metadata.go:244: Post http://localhost:8070/api/metadata/put: dial tcp [::1]:8070: getsockopt: connection refused 2016/02/03 00:44:31 error: queue.go:105: Post http://localhost:8070/api/put: dial tcp [::1]:8070: getsockopt: connection refused
I see 3 possible errors

• No syslog been generated,
• Syslog not being found
• Access between the containers might be failing

I can see some metrics on the bosun web interface which are basically from the the host on the 7th container but not from other containers. Could somebody help me to understand what am I doing wrong?
