Fluentd on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

## Fluentd on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

Fluentd is the open-source unified logging layer from the Fluent project, a CNCF graduated project. It collects data from many sources, structures it as JSON, filters and buffers it, and routes it to dozens of destinations through a rich plugin ecosystem. This cloudimg image gives you a production-ready Fluentd node the moment the VM boots, backed by 24/7 support.

What is Included

* Fluentd 1.16 (fluent-package 5 LTS, Apache-2.0) from the official Fluentd apt repository

* The package fluentd.service systemd unit, enabled and running on boot

* A ready-to-run sample pipeline in /etc/fluent/fluentd.conf: a dummy input, a record_transformer filter, and a copy output to a rotating file under /var/log/fluentd and to stdout

* The built-in in_monitor_agent HTTP endpoint on 127.0.0.1:24220 (/api/plugins.json, /api/config.json)

Headless Service

This is a headless service product. The monitor_agent endpoint binds 127.0.0.1 only, so no inbound application port is needed beyond SSH. Customise the pipeline in /etc/fluent/fluentd.conf to add your own sources and destinations, then restart the fluentd service.
