The cpu input plugin, measures the CPU usage of a process or the whole system by default (considering per CPU core). It reports values in percentage unit for every interval of time set. At the moment this plugin is only available for Linux.
The following tables describes the information generated by the plugin. The keys below represent the data used by the overall system, all values associated to the keys are in a percentage unit (0 to 100%):
In addition to the keys reported in the above table, a similar content is created per CPU core. The cores are listed from 0 to N as the Kernel reports:
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
In order to get the statistics of the CPU usage of your system, you can run the plugin from the command line or through the configuration file:
As described above, the CPU input plugin gathers the overall usage every one second and flushed the information to the output on the fifth second. On this example we used the stdout plugin to demonstrate the output records. In a real use-case you may want to flush this information to some central aggregator such as Fluentd or Elasticsearch.
In your main configuration file append the following Input & Output sections:
The head input plugin, allows to read events from the head of file. It's behavior is similar to the head command.

Forward is the protocol used by Fluentd to route messages between peers. The forward output plugin allows to provide interoperability between Fluent Bit and Fluentd. There are not configuration steps required besides to specify where Fluentd is located, it can be in the local host or a in a remote machine.
This plugin offers two different transports and modes:
Forward (TCP): It uses a plain TCP connection.
Secure Forward (TLS): when TLS is enabled, the plugin switch to Secure Forward mode.
The following parameters are mandatory for either Forward for Secure Forward modes:
When using Secure Forward mode, the TLS mode requires to be enabled. The following additional configuration parameters are available:
Before proceeding, make sure that Fluentd is installed in your system, if it's not the case please refer to the following Fluentd Installation document and go ahead with that.
Once Fluentd is installed, create the following configuration file example that will allow us to stream data into it:
That configuration file specifies that it will listen for TCP connections on the port 24224 through the forward input type. Then for every message with a fluent_bit TAG, will print the message to the standard output.
In one terminal launch Fluentd specifying the new configuration file created (in_fluent-bit.conf):
Now that Fluentd is ready to receive messages, we need to specify where the forward output plugin will flush the information using the following format:
If the TAG parameter is not set, the plugin will set the tag as fluent_bit. Keep in mind that TAG is important for routing rules inside Fluentd.
Using the CPU input plugin as an example we will flush CPU metrics to Fluentd:
Now on the Fluentd side, you will see the CPU metrics gathered in the last seconds:
So we gathered CPU metrics and flushed them out to Fluentd properly.
DISCLAIMER: the following example do not consider the generation of certificates for a proper usage of production environments.
Secure Forward aims to provide a secure channel of communication with the remote Fluentd service using TLS. Above there is a minimalist configuration for testing purposes.

A better example to demonstrate how it works will be through a Bash script that generates messages and writes them to Fluent Bit. Write the following content in a file named test.sh:
Give the script execution permission:
Now lets start the script and Fluent Bit in the following way:
The tcp input plugin allows to retrieve structured JSON or raw messages over a TCP network interface (TCP port).
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
In order to receive JSON messages over TCP, you can run the plugin from the command line or through the configuration file:
From the command line you can let Fluent Bit listen for JSON messages with the following options:
By default the service will listen an all interfaces (0.0.0.0) through TCP port 5170, optionally you can change this directly, e.g:
In the example the JSON messages will only arrive through network interface under 192.168.3.2 address and TCP Port 9090.
In your main configuration file append the following Input & Output sections:
Once Fluent Bit is running, you can send some messages using the netcat:
In Fluent Bit we should see the following output:
When receiving payloads in JSON format, there are high performance penalties. Parsing JSON is a very expensive task so you could expect your CPU usage increase under high load environments.
To get faster data ingestion, consider to use the option Format none to avoid JSON parsing if not needed.
Syslog input plugins allows to collect Syslog messages through a Unix socket server (UDP or TCP) or over the network using TCP or UDP.
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
When using Syslog input plugin, Fluent Bit requires access to the parsers.conf file, the path to this file can be specified with the option -R or through the Parsers_File key on the [SERVER] section (more details below).

Add a new file to your rsyslog config rules called 60-fluent-bit.conf inside the directory /etc/rsyslog.d/ and place the following content:
Make sure that the socket file is readable by rsyslog (tweak the Unix_Perm option shown above).
The tail input plugin allows to monitor one or several text files. It has a similar behavior like tail -f shell command.
The plugin reads every matched file in the Path pattern and for every new line found (separated by a \n), it generates a new record. Optionally a database file can be used so the plugin can have a history of tracked files and a state of offsets, this is very useful to resume a state if the service is restarted.
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
Note that if the database parameter db is not specified, by default the plugin will start reading each target file from the beginning.
Additionally the following options exists to configure the handling of multi-lines files:
Docker mode exists to recombine JSON log lines split by the Docker daemon due to its line length limit. To use this feature, configure the tail plugin with the corresponding parser and then enable Docker mode:
In order to tail text or log files, you can run the plugin from the command line or through the configuration file:
From the command line you can let Fluent Bit parse text files with the following options:
In your main configuration file append the following Input & Output sections:
The tail input plugin a feature to save the state of the tracked files, is strongly suggested you enabled this. For this purpose the db property is available, e.g:
When running, the database file /path/to/logs.db will be created, this database is backed by SQLite3 so if you are interested into explore the content, you can open it with the SQLite client tool, e.g:
Make sure to explore when Fluent Bit is not hard working on the database file, otherwise you will see some Error: database is locked messages.
By default SQLite client tool do not format the columns in a human read-way, so to explore in_tail_files table you can create a config file in ~/.sqliterc with the following content:
Files rotation are properly handled, including logrotate copytruncate mode.
The serial input plugin, allows to retrieve messages/data from a Serial interface.
In order to retrieve messages over the Serial interface, you can run the plugin from the command line or through the configuration file:
The following example loads the input serial plugin where it set a Bitrate of 9600, listen from the /dev/tnt0 interface and use the custom tag data to route the message.
The above interface (/dev/tnt0) is an emulation of the serial interface (more details at bottom), for demonstrative purposes we will write some message to the other end of the interface, in this case /dev/tnt1, e.g:
In Fluent Bit you should see an output like this:
Now using the Separator configuration, we could send multiple messages at once (run this command after starting Fluent Bit):
In your main configuration file append the following Input & Output sections:
The following content is some extra information that will allow you to emulate a serial interface on your Linux system, so you can test this Serial input plugin locally in case you don't have such interface in your computer. The following procedure has been tested on Ubuntu 15.04 running a Linux Kernel 4.0.
