Requirements

Fluent Bit uses very low CPU and Memory consumption, it's compatible with most of x86, x86_64, arm32v7, arm64v8 based platforms. In order to build it you need the following components in your system for the build process:

• Compiler: GCC or clang

• CMake

• Flex & Bison: only if you enable the Stream Processor or Record Accessor feature (both enabled by default)

• Libyaml development headers and libraries

In the core there are not other dependencies, For certain features that depends on third party components like output plugins with special backend libraries (e.g: kafka), those are included in the main source code repository.

Fluent Bit is supported on Linux on IBM Z(s390x), but the WASM and LUA filter plugins are not.
