In most enterprise environments are a lot systems separated via firewalls and the CSO does not want to allow the whole PaaS to access to the external Services.

As you can read in my blog post about syslog in a container world it isn’t easy to run a syslogger in a none privileged Container which is the default setup on openshift.

I describe here how you can setup a syslog receiver for the openshift router which is possible since the version 3.3 via Router Environment Variables.

In the classic Unix world when a daemon want to log something he needs to open a log channel to the syslog daemon. This is normally done via openlog() system call.
