Documented steps

  1. Add `logging: {driver: gelf, options: {gelf-address: "udp://graylog.example.com:12201"}}` to the service in compose.yaml.
  2. gelf-address supports udp:// (default, port 12201) and tcp://.
  3. Set options like `gelf-compression-type: "gzip"`, `gelf-compression-level: "6"`, and `tag` to enrich messages.
  4. Run `docker compose up -d`; the driver sends each log line as a GELF message.
