Here is a configuration example.

fluent-bit.conf

[INPUT]
    Name   statsd
    Listen 0.0.0.0
    Port   8125

[OUTPUT]
    Name   stdout
    Match  *

fluent-bit.yaml

pipeline:
    inputs:
        - name: statsd
          listen: 0.0.0.0
          port: 8125
    outputs:
        - name: stdout
          match: '*'

Now you can input metrics through the UDP port as follows:

echo "click:10|c|@0.1" | nc -q0 -u 127.0.0.1 8125
echo "active:99|g"     | nc -q0 -u 127.0.0.1 8125

Fluent Bit will produce the following records:

[0] statsd.0: [1574905088.971380537, {"type"=>"counter", "bucket"=>"click", "value"=>10.000000, "sample_rate"=>0.100000}]
[0] statsd.0: [1574905141.863344517, {"type"=>"gauge", "bucket"=>"active", "value"=>99.000000, "incremental"=>0}]
