Look for docker image or create a custom image if one does not exist. https://hub.docker.com/r/honeycombio/rdslogs/tags

Steps to confirm RDS Postgres logs could be consumed by Honeycomb from a pod:

1 - Followed this guide to create an EKS with peered RDS (Postgres).

2 - Used honeycombio/rdslogs k8s example to create an rdslogs deployment. Changes made were:

• create base64 encoded secrets (echo -n SECRET_VALUE | base64); and
• update command args:

    spec:
      containers:
      - name: honeycomb-rdslogs
        image: honeycombio/rdslogs:latest
        command: ["/rdslogs"]
        args:
          - --region=<my-region>
          - --identifier=<my-db-identifier>
          - --writekey=$(WRITE_KEY)
          - --dataset=<honeycomb-dataset-name>
          - --output=honeycomb
          - --dbtype=postgresql

3 - Fed queries for logging with a postgres pod to confirm Honeycomb was receiving data:

kubectl run -i --tty --rm postgres --image=postgres --restart=Never -- /bin/bash
$ psql -h postgres-service -U USER -d DATABASE
