Parseable

Send logs, metrics, and traces to Parseable

Stream logs, metrics, and traces to Parseable by utilizing the OpenTelemetry plugin to send telemetry data to the Parseable OpenTelemetry-compatible Ingestor endpoints.

Configuration parameters

Key	Description	Default
add_label	Add custom labels to the telemetry data.	none
header	Required headers for Parseable integration. Must include X-P-Stream (stream name) and X-P-Log-Source (telemetry type: otel-logs, otel-metrics, or otel-traces).	none
host	Your Parseable Ingestor hostname or IP address.	parseable
http_passwd	Password for HTTP basic authentication.	admin
http_user	Username for HTTP basic authentication.	admin
log_response_payload	Log the response payload from the server for debugging.	false
logs_uri	Specify the HTTP URI for the target web server listening for logs.	/v1/logs
metrics_uri	Specify the HTTP URI for the target web server listening for metrics.	/v1/metrics
port	TCP port of your Parseable Ingestor.	8000
tls	Enable or disable TLS/SSL encryption.	off
traces_uri	Specify the HTTP URI for the target web server listening for traces.	/v1/traces

TLS / SSL

The OpenTelemetry output plugin supports TLS/SSL. For more details about the properties available and general configuration, see TLS/SSL.

Get started

To get started with sending telemetry data to Parseable:

1. Ensure your Parseable Ingestor is running and accessible.

2. Configure authentication credentials (username/password).

3. In your main Fluent Bit configuration file append the following:

fluent-bit.yaml

pipeline:
  outputs:
    # Send logs to Parseable
    - name: opentelemetry
      match: v1_logs
      host: parseable
      port: 8000
      logs_uri: /v1/logs
      log_response_payload: true
      tls: off
      http_user: admin
      http_passwd: admin
      header: X-P-Stream otellogs
      header: X-P-Log-Source otel-logs
      add_label: app fluent-bit

    # Send metrics to Parseable
    - name: opentelemetry
      match: v1_metrics
      host: parseable
      port: 8000
      metrics_uri: /v1/metrics
      log_response_payload: true
      tls: off
      http_user: admin
      http_passwd: admin
      header: X-P-Stream otelmetrics
      header: X-P-Log-Source otel-metrics
      add_label: app fluent-bit

    # Send traces to Parseable
    - name: opentelemetry
      match: v1_traces
      host: parseable
      port: 8000
      traces_uri: /v1/traces
      log_response_payload: true
      tls: off
      http_user: admin
      http_passwd: admin
      header: X-P-Stream oteltraces
      header: X-P-Log-Source otel-traces
      add_label: app fluent-bit

fluent-bit.conf

Stream configuration

Parseable uses streams to organize your telemetry data. The X-P-Stream header specifies which stream the data should be sent to:

• otellogs: Stream for log data

• otelmetrics: Stream for metrics data

• oteltraces: Stream for trace data

The X-P-Log-Source header helps identify the source of the telemetry data for better organization and filtering. The header must be set to otel-logs, otel-metrics, or otel-traces based on the telemetry type.

Authentication

Parseable supports HTTP basic authentication. Configure the http_user and http_passwd parameters with your Parseable server credentials.
