Installation instructions

[funkymonkeymonk]

I couldn't find this gem on ruby gems so using normal
gem install fluent-plugin-remote-syslog
didn't work.

Is there a preferred way of using this plugin? Could the installation/use instructions be included in the README?

Same problem:
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'fluent-plugin-remote-syslog' (>= 0) in any repository

git clone https://github.com/docebo/fluent-plugin-remote-syslog
cd fluent-plugin-remote-syslog
gem build fluent-plugin-remote-syslog.gemspec
td-agent-gem install fluent-plugin-remote-syslog-*.gem

Hi, I have followed your instruction but unlucky with error:

"Unknown output plugin 'syslog_buffered'"

td-agent.conf:

@type tail path /var/log/misfit/store/*.log format none tag store

<match store.**>
@type syslog_buffered
remote_syslog 10.100.1.100
port 514
hostname store_1
severity debug
tag store-log

+1 - Testing out different versions of syslog output plugins for forwarding Fluentd to syslog aggregators and this one seems to not find the plugin type post install.
