Send Logs to Platform

In order to send logs to the logging platform, there are a few requirements you need to have:

1. A Ready pipeline instance so that you can obtain tcpAddress or httpAddress.

2. A key that you already obtained.

3. FluentBit log agent installed in your platform (see more).

Based on your infrastructure, whether it is kubernetes, docker, or systemd, you may follow different instructions to set up and install FluentBit. However, there are a few pieces of information that you always need to configure FluentBit's output section:

• The log server endpoint, which is tcpAddress or httpAddress based on your log source.

• The Key that is needed for the authentication.

• The Tag that you defined while creating the pipeline.

Here is an example of a FluentBit configuration that needs an Endpoint, Tag, and Key:

[OUTPUT]
    Name            forward
    Match           *
    Port            9000
    Tag             <TAG>
    Host            <TCP_ENDPOINT>
    tls             on
    Shared_Key      <KEY>

Troubleshooting

FluentBit can be configured to expose more verbose logs for troubleshooting purposes.

[OUTPUT]
    Log_Level      debug
