Problems...

No unified method to collect logs> Too many bash/perl scripts

Fragile for changesLess reliable

> Mixed log formatsOld-fashioned “Human-readable” text logsNot ready to analyze

> High latencymust wait a day for log rotation

JSON format

Why Fluentd?> Extensibility - Plugin architecture

collect logs from various systemsforward logs to various systems

> Unified log format - JSON formatmodern “Machine-readable” log formatimmediately ready to analyze

> Reliable - HA configuration> Easy to install - RPM/deb packages

deploy instantly to everywhere

Comparision with other log collectors:> Scribe

Less extensibleNo unified log formatNo longer developped?

> FlumeLess simpleNo unified log formatLittle information about Flume-NG

I want to add flowcounter here...


<match flow.traffic> type forward host traffic.server</match>

<match **> type copy <store> type flowcounter tag flow.traffic </store>
