Stream
A Stream represents an unique flow of data being ingested by an Input plugin. By default Streams get a name using the plugin name plus an internal numerical identification, e.g: tail.0 . Stream name can be changed setting the alias property.
Task
Stream Processor configuration have the notion of Tasks that represents an execution unit, for short: SQL queries are configured in a Task.
Results
When Stream Processor runs a SQL query, results are generated. These results can be re-ingested back into the main Fluent Bit pipeline or simply redirected to the standard output interfaces for debugging purposes.
Tag
Fluent Bit group records and associate a Tag to them. Tags are used to define routing rules or in the case of the stream processor to attach to specific Tag that matches a pattern.
