Configuration Parameters

The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:

Key	Description	Default
Address	Set the address to listen to	0.0.0.0
Port	Set the port to listen to	25826
TypesDB	Set the data specification file	/usr/share/collectd/types.db

Configuration Examples

Here is a basic configuration example.

[INPUT]
    Name         collectd
    Address      0.0.0.0
    Port         25826
    TypesDB      /usr/share/collectd/types.db,/etc/collectd/custom.db

[OUTPUT]
    Name   stdout
    Match  *

With this configuration, fluent-bit listens to 0.0.0.0:25826, and outputs incoming datagram packets to stdout.

You must set the same types.db files that your collectd server uses. Otherwise, fluent-bit may not be able to interpret the payload properly.
