Description

We should support nomad out of the box since it is another very popular container orchestration framework.

Specification

Similar to the kubernetes source nomad places its logs in a folder on disk. Via this, we can collect logs for containers that are run by nomad.

Event metadata

TBD

Research direction

Start by reading the existing kubernetes source and Nomad's log-shipper pattern documentation linked in the issue. Define the required event metadata and the expected on-disk log collection behavior before implementation; completion depends on resolving the currently unspecified metadata requirements and adding equivalent Nomad support.
