    Hi Rahul:

    Thanks for your response.

     

    #1. As I researched furthur, I found another new docker logging option - https://github.com/SumoLogic/sumologic-docker-logging-driver

    Since this seems like a relatively new driver, is there any document in the sumo website about it? I also found that ECS agent supports this as of Sep29th. Can you tell me more about this?

     

    #2. The above option requires a hosted collector. Is there any extra pricing associated with the hosted collector?

    Thanks
    Vidhya

    Ano

    Thanks Rahul

     

    Are there any pitfalls using a hosted collector that we should be aware of? Since it is hosted in sumo cloud, I am curious to understand the SLA (if the service might go down, etc) - any loss of messages,  queuing , etc. Can you point me to any docs about this?
