Are there any client libraries for LogDNA or does it just stream /var/log/* and other logs to LogDNA? Also, you provide APTs and RPMs, but no sources. Is there any way I can build LogDNA and run it on Arch Linux?

Client libraries are coming soon! We decided on an agent mainly for ease of installation and so we can self-update the agent, so you don't have to manage it (especially for auto-scaling environments).

We will be open sourcing our agent soon, we literally launched this week...some things we couldn't get to for launch.

And yes, it currently streams /var/log/* by default and any other paths your specify to the agent.

Great! I want to stick it in a Docker container.

I was also looking for documentation of how to forward data to them. Its probably only available after login.
Ahh yes documentation...we're also working on that as we speak. Sorry about that...we had to pick and choose what we could have for launch. But the instructions on logdna.com should be enough to get you started.
logstash/filebeat integration would make sense actually.
