Stackdriver agent in docker container

Question

Is it possible to set up a generic Docker image with Stackdriver monitoring agents so it can send logging data within the container to Stackdriver, then which can be used across any VM instances regardless of GCE and AWS?

Update

FROM ubuntu:16.04

USER root

ADD . /

ENV GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/etc/google/auth/application_default_credentials.json"

RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y --no-install-recommends install wget curl python-minimal ca-certificates lsb-release libidn11 openssl && \

RUN curl -sSO https://dl.google.com/cloudagents/install-logging-agent.sh
RUN bash install-logging-agent.sh

Im exactly following what's been said in the documentation. The installation goes fine. But google-fluentd is failing to start/restart.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, this should be possible according to the documentation. You will need to make sure that Stackdriver agent is installed and configured correctly in your docker image.
