How to use

Configure the SSV docker container to use journal for logging

To tell docker to use journal as its log engine you can append --log-driver=journald to the docker run command.

This is an example command you could use

docker run --restart unless-stopped --name ssv_node -e \
CONFIG_PATH=/config.yaml -p 13001:13001 -p 12001:12001/udp -p 15000:15000 \
-v "$(pwd)/config.yaml":/config.yaml \
-v "$(pwd)":/data \
-v "$(pwd)/password":/password \
-v "$(pwd)/encrypted_private_key.json":/encrypted_private_key.json \
--log-driver=journald \  # This is to set up journal as the logging handler for docker
-it "bloxstaking/ssv-node:latest" make BUILD_PATH="/go/bin/ssvnode" start-node

After you have configure docker, you can view live logs from the SSV node with this command (assuming you have named the container "ssv_node"): journalctl CONTAINER_NAME=ssv_node -f

To use the logger you can pipe the output into the python script using: journalctl CONTAINER_NAME=ssv_node -f | ssvlogger
