Send docker logs to ELK through gelf log driver

There's so many way to send logs to an elk... logspout, filebeat, journalbeat, etc.

But docker has a gelf log driver and logstash a gelf input. So here we are.

Here is a docker-compose to test a full elk with a container sending logs via gelf.

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

This tutorial as a series of videos

If you prefer to watch video tutorials with live-coding, then check out this series I recorded with the same contents as in this article: Egghead.io - Introduction to Reactive Programming.

This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
 // the rest of your code goes here.

	import org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider;

	import java.math.BigInteger;
	import java.security.*;

	public class Main {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws NoSuchProviderException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, InvalidKeyException, SignatureException {

	// Crypto setup

	// the main app file
	import express from "express";
	import loadDb from "./loadDb"; // dummy middleware to load db (sets request.db)
	import authenticate from "./authentication"; // middleware for doing authentication
	import permit from "./authorization"; // middleware for checking if user's role is permitted to make request

	const app = express(),
	api = express.Router();

	// first middleware will setup db connection
