Nowadays the number of sources of information in our environments is ever increasing. Handling data collection at scale is complex, and collecting and aggregating diverse data requires a specialized tool that can deal with: * Different sources of information * Different data formats * Data Reliability * Security * Flexible Routing * Multiple destinations Fluent Bit provides a flexible and pluggable architecture to collect, enrich, and deliver logs or metrics to multiple databases or cloud providers. * Input Source of Data + [Tail / Files]() + [Systemd]() + [Syslog]() + [Serial Interface]() + [MQTT]() + [Kernel Log Messages]() + [Windows Event Log]() + Metrics: [CPU](), [Disk I/O](), [Network I/O](), [Memory]() + others... * Filters for data enrichment and modification + [AWS]() + [Kubernetes]() + [Lua Scripts]() + [Parser]() + [Record Modifier]() + [Rewrite Tag]() + others... * Output Destinations + [Azure Log Analytics]() + [Google BigQuery]() + [Datadog]() + [Elasticsearch]() + [Forward (Fluentd)]() + [Gelf / Graylog]() + [HTTP]() + [InfluxDB]() + [Kafka]() + [PostgreSQL]() + others... With Fluent Bit, you can read any source of data, process it, and deliver it to your preferred storage service. **Performance and Low Resource Usage** Fluent Bit is written in C language and has been designed for optimal performance with low resource usage. Process thousands of events, save memory and CPU cycles. **Fluent Bit and CNCF** [Fluent Bit]() is a [Cloud Native Computing Foundation]() (CNCF) project under the umbrella of [Fluentd](). ### Package name * fluent-bit --- ### License * Apache-2.0 --- ### Last updated * 25 September 2020 - latest/stable * 25 February 2020 - latest/edge This snap hasn't been updated in a while.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap is available for [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8](https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-8) and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward. The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below. The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 9** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 8** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 7** with the following command: ``` sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm ``` Adding the *optional* and *extras* repositories is also recommended: ``` sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms" sudo yum update ``` Snap can now be installed as follows: ``` sudo yum install snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Fluent Bit To install Fluent Bit, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install fluent-bit ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
