stack driver logging not working debian jessie - google-fluentd-catch-all-config files missing

[David Miller]

Hi

I'm having troublle with stackdriver logging on our debian jessie instances. It seems that the files that should be installed by google-fluentd-catch-all-config are missing. 

I have complete removed the google-fluentd packages and reinstalled to no avail. manually installing or reinstalling the package also does not install (see below)

One instance has some customised confi file which do work, and on one machine I had a backup copy of the configurations and have copied them into place and I am getting logs from that system.

ANy suggestions on how to fix?

I would recommend you to check the help center article about 'Installing the Agent', in case if you miss any installation steps. 

If the issue still persists even after following the documentation, I would highly recommend you to open an issue report by using this issue-tracker link. While opening the issue-report, try to include all the necessary details including any error reports. 

I hope this helps.
