Pipe Apache (or any) Logs to Scribe

I created a simple Python script called scribe_log to tail a log file and pipe it to Scribe.

I use supervisor to start and keep the pipe running.

Relevant supervisord.conf configuration:

[program:scribe.apache.access]
command=/usr/local/sbin/scribe_log --category apache.access --file /var/log/httpd/access_log

Options

usage: scribe_log [options]

options:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --file=FILE          file to tail into Scribe
  --category=CATEGORY  Scribe category
  --host=HOST          destination Scribe host server
  --port=PORT          destination Scribe port
  --prefix=PREFIX      add to the beginning of each log line
  --postfix=POSTFIX    add to the end of each log line
