Vector: New `fluent` source

Created on 23 May 2019  路  2Comments  路  Source: timberio/vector

This will make it easier for users to transition in production environments. We basically want to support the forward input and output for Fluentbit. I believe it's the same protocol used for FluentD, but we should investigate further. They have a section in their docs that covers this.

  • [ ] Add a Fluent transitioning guide that walks through how to do this.
logs sources should feature

There are more use cases than just transition.
We use AWS fargate which can log to CloudWatch or Fluentd/Fluentbit. Replacing that with vector is not currently an option.
But I'd love to be able to have all of them send to a vector aggregator instead of a fluentd one

Thanks, @snemetz. I agree, and we'll prioritize this.
