## Example configuration

The following example configuration uses a `dummy` input plugin and a `nrlogs` output plugin.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="fluent-bit.yaml" %}

```yaml
service:
  flush: 1
  log_level: info

pipeline:
  inputs:
    - name: dummy
      dummy: '{"message":"a simple message", "temp": "0.74", "extra": "false"}'
      samples: 1

  outputs:
    - name: nrlogs
      match: '*'
      api_key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="fluent-bit.conf" %}

```
[SERVICE]
  flush     1
  log_level info

[INPUT]
  name      dummy
  dummy     {"message":"a simple message", "temp": "0.74", "extra": "false"}
  samples   1

[OUTPUT]
  name      nrlogs
  match     *
  api_key   YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Run Fluent Bit with the new configuration file:

```shell
# For YAML configuration.
fluent-bit --config fluent-bit.yaml

# For classic configuration
fluent-bit --config fluent-bit.conf
```

Fluent Bit output:
