Logs not shipping to papertrail

[drnic]

I'm trying to use logsearch-shipper to ship my logs to https://papertrailapp.com

I have the following configuration in my manifest.

properties:
  logsearch:
    logs:
      enabled: true
      server: logs.papertrailapp.com:54321
    metrics:
      enabled: false

On the job vms the processes are running:

 9119 ?        S<     0:00 /bin/bash /var/vcap/jobs/logsearch-shipper/bin/logs.control start
 9128 ?        S<l    0:00 /var/vcap/packages/logsearch-nxlog/bin/nxlog -f -c nxlog.conf
 9154 ?        S<l    0:00 /var/vcap/bosh/bin/monit -c /var/vcap/data/logsearch-shipper/metrics/monit.conf
 9170 ?        S<sl   0:00 /var/vcap/packages/logsearch-collectd/sbin/collectd -C /var/vcap/jobs/logsearch-shipper/etc/metrics-collectd.conf
 9182 ?        S<     0:00 /bin/bash /var/vcap/jobs/logsearch-shipper/bin/metrics-collectd.graphite-mock
 9183 ?        S<     0:00 /bin/nc -l 127.0.0.1 2003
 9184 ?        S<     0:00 grep -v  nan
 9185 ?        S<     0:00 sed -E -e s/^collectd\.localhost./host./ -e s/([^\w])\-/\1_/g
 9195 ?        S<l    0:00 /var/vcap/bosh/bin/ruby /var/vcap/jobs/logsearch-shipper/logsearch/metric-collector/monit/collector

In the generated log file I can see the output info:

<Output out>
  Host logs.papertrailapp.com
  Port 54321
  Module om_tcp
  Exec to_syslog_ietf();
  OutputType LineBased
</Output>

Any suggestions for getting the logs flowing?

While logsearch-shipper is focused on logsearch, the untested theory has
been it should be compatible with similar hosted services. The pastes you
provided look sane. Did /var/vcap/sys/log/logsearch-shipper/logs.nxlog.log
have any further details, such as connectivity issues?
