如何将我的 Java 生成的日志发送到 ELK

Question

I am currently working on a microservices based project. What I want to do is to be able to send my logs generated by a Java service running in a Docker container to ELK, which is a separate Docker container. What is the best way to do that? I was hoping I could send my logs through HTTP directly to the ELK stack, instead of saving the logs into a file locally.

My Java service uses Java 1.8, Spring Boot and it uses slf4j for logging.

You should use Filebeat to send logs to your ELK. You can read how to setup it for docker container here
