Fluentd is an open source data collector, which lets you unify the data collection and consumption for a better use and understanding of data.
Fluentd tries to structure data as JSON as much as possible: this allows Fluentd to unify all facets of processing log data: collecting, filtering, buffering, and outputting logs across multiple sources and destinations (Unified Logging Layer). The downstream data processing is much easier with JSON, since it has enough structure to be accessible while retaining flexible schemas.
Fluentd has a flexible plugin system that allows the community to extend its functionality. Our 500+ community-contributed plugins connect dozens of data sources and data outputs. By leveraging the plugins, you can start making better use of your logs right away.
Fluentd is written in a combination of C language and Ruby, and requires very little system resource. The vanilla instance runs on 30-40MB of memory and can process 13,000 events/second/core. If you have tighter memory requirements (-450kb), check out Fluent Bit, the lightweight forwarder for Fluentd.
Fluentd supports memory- and file-based buffering to prevent inter-node data loss. Fluentd also supports robust failover and can be set up for high availability. 2,000+ data-driven companies rely on Fluentd to differentiate their products and services through a better use and understanding of their log data.
