Fluent Bit on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

## Fluent Bit on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

Fluent Bit is the fast, lightweight, vendor-neutral log and metrics processor and forwarder from the Fluent project, a CNCF graduated project. It collects data from many sources, parses and filters it, and routes it to dozens of destinations from a tiny memory footprint. The cloudimg image installs Fluent Bit from the official Fluent Bit apt repository as /opt/fluent-bit/bin/fluent-bit, enables the package fluent-bit.service on boot, and ships a clear ready-to-run sample pipeline at /etc/fluent-bit/fluent-bit.conf. Backed by 24/7 expert support.

Ready-to-Run Pipeline

A sample pipeline (a cpu input, a record_modifier filter, and two outputs - a rotating file under /var/log/fluent-bit and stdout) runs on boot, plus the built-in HTTP monitoring server on 127.0.0.1:2020 (/api/v1/health, /api/v1/metrics, /api/v1/uptime). Edit fluent-bit.conf to add your own inputs and outputs.

Lightweight and Vendor-Neutral

Fluent Bit has a tiny memory footprint and runs comfortably on the smallest VM. It ships with inputs (tail, systemd, syslog, HTTP, OpenTelemetry) and outputs (Elasticsearch, Loki, Kafka, S3, Azure Blob, and many more).
