You can take a look at the overview of our application at <A href="https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3723/">https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3723/</A><BR /> If you are using ECS on AWS - you can also take a look at our manual <A href="https://www.outcoldsolutions.com/blog/2018-03-15-monitoring-aws-ecs-in-splunk/">https://www.outcoldsolutions.com/blog/2018-03-15-monitoring-aws-ecs-in-splunk/</A></P> <P>Nginx logs are pretty easy to collect and manage them because they have a very straightforward format. You will need to just setup search time field extraction. </P> Mon, 23 Apr 2018 15:49:43 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-ingest-Nginx-running-in-a-Docker-container-logs-to-Splunk/m-p/354005#M94847 outcoldman 2018-04-23T15:49:43Z
