Syslog Drain Binder

Syslog Drain Binder is a Cloud Foundry component that polls Cloud Controller for syslog drain bindings and updates etcd for Doppler. Doppler is notified of these changes and will forward logs and metrics to the new endpoint(s).

Each syslog drain binding belongs to a single app, but each app can have multiple syslog drain bindings.

Multiple instances of Syslog Drain Binder can and should be deployed, but only one is active at a given time (via an etcd election process).

Usage
