Streamline Log Collection With Your Existing Fluent Bit Setup

Greetings!

Many teams already use Fluent Bit to collect logs from servers and containers. Sending these logs to AppLogs can be simpler with an output plugin for Fluent Bit, which lets you use your existing Fluent Bit setup without adding another log shipper.

With the plugin, you can forward application logs, container logs, syslog, and other log data directly to AppLogs. Parsing is managed through the log type configured in the monitoring console.

Key benefits of Fluent Bit log forwarding

The output plugin for Fluent Bit provides the following benefits:
  1. No additional shipper: Use your existing Fluent Bit setup without installing or maintaining another agent.
  2. Multiple log formats: Forward JSON, plaintext, and multi-line logs, including stack traces.
  3. Centralized log parsing: Configure parsing rules in the monitoring console's log type instead of maintaining them in Fluent Bit.
  4. Built-in data protection: Apply masking, hashing, and filtering rules configured in the log profile before logs are ingested.
  5. Reliable log delivery: Fluent Bit automatically retries failed uploads to help ensure successful delivery.
