//! This file implements journaldriver, a small application that
//! forwards logs from journald (systemd's log facility) to
//! Stackdriver Logging.
//!
//! Log entries are read continously from journald and are forwarded
//! to Stackdriver in batches.
//!
//! Stackdriver Logging has a concept of monitored resources. In the
//! simplest case this monitored resource will be the GCE instance on
//! which journaldriver is running.
//!
//! Information about the instance, the project and required security
//! credentials are retrieved from Google's metadata instance on GCP.
//!
//! To run journaldriver on non-GCP machines, users must specify the
//! `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`, `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` and
//! `LOG_NAME` environment variables.
