fluentbit cookbook

Recipe default

The recipe fluentbit::default installs Fluent Bit.

You can select whether to install the binary packages provided by Treasure Data (TD Agent bit) or compile Fluent Bit from source.

override['fluentbit']['install_mode'] = 'package' # the default
override['fluentbit']['install_mode'] = 'source' # build from source code

You can add custom configuration with the fluentbit_conf helper:

fluentbit_conf 'example' do
  content <<~CONF
    [INPUT]
        Name  cpu
        Tag   cpu

    [OUTPUT]
        Name  stdout
        Match *
  CONF
end

You can add custom parsers by setting type :parser:

fluentbit_conf 'foo' do
  type :parser
  content <<~CONF
    [PARSER]
        Name   foo
        Format regex
        Regex  ^(?<foo>[^ ]*) [^ ]*$
  CONF
end

Recipe forward

A simple generic recipe is available to set up forwarding to another Fluent Bit or Fluentd host.

How to generate certificate for secure forwarding

Give it a password. CN can be left blank.
