However, I decided to go with Fluent Bit, which is much lighter and it has built-in Kubernetes support. Fluent Bit can read [[Kubernetes]] or [[Docker]] log files from the file system or through Systemd journal, enrich logs with Kubernetes metadata, deliver logs to third-party storage services like Elasticsearch, [[InfluxDB]], HTTP, etc. Fluent Bit is a Lightweight Data Forwarder for Fluentd. Fluent Bit is specifically designed for forwarding the data from the edge to Fluentd aggregators.
