Fluent Bit

Setting up Fluent Bit is very straightforward:
1.Install Fluent Bit on your server according to the guidelines.
2.Install and set up Fluent Bit input plugins to suit your needs (e.g., Syslog).
3.Modify the Fluent Bit [OUTPUT] configuration to start sending logs to your Logtail source. A basic configuration that forwards logs from all inputs to a single Logtail source could look like this:
/etc/td-agent-bit/td-agent-bit.conf
1
[SERVICE]
2
    flush  1
3
​
4
[INPUT]
5
    name tail
6
    path /var/log/syslog
7
  
8
[OUTPUT]
9
    name    http
10
    match   *
11
    tls     On
12
    host    in.logtail.com
13
    port    443
14
    uri     /
15
    header  Authorization Bearer YOUR_LOGTAIL_SOURCE_TOKEN
16
    header  Content-Type application/msgpack
17
    format  msgpack
18
    retry_limit 5
