## How it Works

The LogDNA agent authenticates using your [LogDNA Ingestion Key](https://app.logdna.com/manage/profile) and opens a secure web socket to LogDNA's
ingestion servers. It then 'tails' for new log data, as well as watches for new files added to your specific logging directories.
ingestion servers. It then 'tails' for new log data, as well as watches for new files added to your specific logging directories. Of note, for a single log in a log file to be considered ready to send to LogDNA, it must end with ```\n``` or ```\r\n```. Otherwise it is assumed more information is being added and the agent holds off.

If you don't have a LogDNA account, you can create one on https://logdna.com. Or if you're using macOS w/[Homebrew](https://brew.sh) installed:

## Manual Install
In some cases, you may have a system that is restricted from incoming connections. You can find executables in this repo's [Releases](https://github.com/logdna/logdna-agent/releases) and install them directly any time via a flash drive or connection behind your firewall.

### Windows Specific
To automatically run the agent and avoid nssm install/setup, you can use the following ```.bat``` in conjunction with the default Task Scheduler on bootup. Note that the executable, configuration file and debug output are defined via the ```set``` commands. You will likely need to tweak these for your system.

```bash
set agent_exe_loc=C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\logdna-agent.exe
set agent_conf_loc=C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\logdna.conf
set agent_debug_log_loc=C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\logdna_debug_out.log

%agent_exe_loc% -c %agent_conf_loc% > %agent_debug_log_loc%
```
