TLDR vasanth sought help for integrating Fluentd with OpenObserve. Prabhat recommended using FluentBit or Vector instead and provided a tutorial, which resolved vasanth's issue successfully.
Hey Vasanth, Any specific preference for fluentd? We generally recommend fluentbit or vector as they are faster and require much less resources
Hi Prabhat, Nope, I can use either of it,
cool. Let me write a quick tutorial for it. I guess you will not be the last person to ask for it :slightly_smiling_face:
That will be very much helpful. Agreed many will be looking for it..
You want it in the context of kubernetes. right?
as in capture all the logs from a kubernetes cluster and send it to OpenObserve
Yes, exactly
Here is a blog that should get you going -
That’s fantastic! Thank you very much. Will try this and let you know how it goes..
Prabhat Was able to get the logs working.. following the blog. Simple and clear instructions. will keep you posted on further developments. Thanks a lot for quickly getting this post. one small typo in the doc- configuration is mis-spelled.
Am glad that you were able to get it working. Thanks for pointing the typo. Fixed it.
how is the resource utilization? CPU and RAM usage? Do you plan to use functions?
Hi Prabhat I am still exploring the openobserv give me day or two will let you know
