Raspbian and Raspberry Pi
Fluent Bit is distributed as the fluent-bit
package and is available for Raspberry Pi. The following versions are supported:
Raspbian Bookworm (12)
Raspbian Bullseye (11)
Raspbian Buster (10)
Server GPG key
The first step is to add the Fluent Bit server GPG key to your keyring so you can get FLuent Bit signed packages:
sudo sh -c 'curl https://packages.fluentbit.io/fluentbit.key | sudo apt-key add - '
Update your sources lists
On Debian and derivative systems such as Raspbian, you need to add the Fluent Bit APT server entry to your sources lists.
Add the following content at bottom of your /etc/apt/sources.list
file.
Raspbian 12 (Bookworm)
echo "deb https://packages.fluentbit.io/raspbian/bookworm bookworm main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fluent-bit.list
Raspbian 11 (Bullseye)
echo "deb https://packages.fluentbit.io/raspbian/bullseye bullseye main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fluent-bit.list
Raspbian 10 (Buster)
echo "deb https://packages.fluentbit.io/raspbian/buster buster main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fluent-bit.list
Update your repositories database
Now let your system update the apt
database:
sudo apt-get update
Install Fluent Bit
Ensure your GPG key is up to date.
Use the following
apt-get
command to install the latest Fluent Bit:sudo apt-get install fluent-bit
Instruct
systemd
to enable the service:sudo service fluent-bit start
If you do a status check, you should see a similar output like this:
$ sudo service fluent-bit status

The default configuration of Fluent Bit collects metrics for CPU usage and sends the records to the standard output. You can see the outgoing data in your /var/log/syslog
file.
