Hi Folks, Is it possible to ingest logs from Containerized Applications with Cribl? I.e., logs from any application running inside a docker container. If anybody has experience with this, please let me know what potentials issues can arise in this scenario..

Yes! You can deploy out Cribl Edge to capture all container metrics https://github.com/criblio/helm-charts/tree/master/helm-chart-sources/edge

The <https://docs.cribl.io/edge/sources-kubernetes-logs/|Kubernetes Logs> source can be utilized with the helm chart <@U032T0Q59U4&gt; linked. This will read logs from the `stdout`/`stderr` streams of the container. You could also use the <https://docs.cribl.io/edge/sources-file-monitor/|File Monitor> source to read from the host filesystem if the logs are stored in a volume there. You could also deploy Cribl Edge as a sidecar to your application and mount any relevant file systems that need logs read using the File Monitor source.
