Standard Input
The stdin plugin allows to retrieve valid JSON text messages over the standard input interface (stdin). In order to use it, specify the plugin name as the input, e.g:
$ fluent-bit -i stdin -o stdout
As input data the stdin plugin recognize the following JSON data formats:
1. { map => val, map => val, map => val }
2. [ time, { map => val, map => val, map => val } ]
A better example to demonstrate how it works will be through a Bash script that generates messages and writes them to Fluent Bit. Write the following content in a file named test.sh:
#!/bin/sh
while :; do
echo -n "{\"key\": \"some value\"}"
sleep 1
done
Give the script execution permission:
$ chmod 755 test.sh
$ ./test.sh | fluent-bit -i stdin -o stdout
