You can add logs in JSON format using HTTP.
$ curl -X POST -d 'json={"action":"login","user":2}' \
http://localhost:8888/td.testdb.www_access td-agent continuously uploads logs every 5 minutes. You can force td-agent to flush the buffered logs into the cloud by sending a SIGUSR1 signal.
# Linux
$ kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/td-agent/td-agent.pid`
# MacOS X
$ sudo kill -USR1 `sudo launchctl list | grep td-agent | cut -f 1` Go to TD Console > Databases to check if the data got imported successfully. Or from the CLI, you can check by issuing the td tables command:
$ td tables+------------+------------+------+-----------+
| Database | Table | Type | Count |
+------------+------------+------+-----------+
| testdb | www_access | log | 1 |
+------------+------------+------+-----------+ If you run into any issues, the td-agent log (/var/log/td-agent/td-agent.log) is a good place to start your investigation.
