Fluent Bit: The Future of Logging in Kubernetes Environments
Rajesh Gheware explores how Fluent Bit is changing Kubernetes logging with its efficiency and modularity. Fluent Bit uses a plugin system for ingesting, processing, and forwarding logs. It’s lightweight, fast, flexible, and rich in plugins, fitting for Kubernetes’ demands. Installation and configuration for Kubernetes metadata enrichment, and Prometheus integration for monitoring, are illustrated. Fluent Bit excels over competitors like ELK and Splunk due to resource optimization, positioning it as the preferred logging solution in Kubernetes environments.
