We have downloaded the docker image from vmware/log-intelligence-fluentd:3.0 and while running it it is exiting with log "Switch to inspect mode".

@sauravbhuyan Can you please update the completed docker command used and DockerFile for testing.

[sauravbhuyan]

I have used it as a normal docker run and not as a pod inside a kubernetes cluster. FInd the details below

Has anyone found out if there is a fix/workaround to be able to create a docker container from the image locally?

[jonatan-ivanov]

It seems the Docker image does not define the entrypoint or cmd, if you set cmd to fluentd it works.

[sauravbhuyan]

It seems this image was created mainly to use in kubernetes environment.

@sauravbhuyan I'm not sure what does this mean or what difference would it make.
Here's how to start it: https://github.com/jonatan-ivanov/local-services/tree/main/vmware-log-intelligence
