Fluent Bit

Open-source, multi-platform log processor

Fluent Bit is an open-source log processor and forwarder that allows you to collect any data (like metrics and logs) from different sources, enrich them with filters, and send them to multiple destinations. Based on Fluentd, Fluent Bit is designed to run in distributed environments where resources are constrained (such as Kubernetes, other Cloud instances, or containers)

How to get data flowing

Fluent Bit has multiple output plugins that can be used to send to Stream. This integration is facilitated through Cribl Stream’s TCP JSON Source or Splunk HEC Source.

Fluent Bit to Stream via TCP JSON

  • Configure Fluent Bit to forward data to Stream over TCP, by adding this to your Fluent Bit .conf file

  • Configure Stream to read the incoming data via Sources > TCP JSON.

  • Enable and configure TLS on the TCP JSON Source.

  • Stream will receive data as it becomes available.

Fluent Bit to Stream via Splunk HEC

  • Configure Fluent Bit to forward data to LogStream via Splunk HTTP, by adding this to your Fluent Bit .conf file

  • Configure Stream to read the incoming data via Sources > Splunk HEC.

  • Stream will receive data as it becomes available.
