Overview

The Fluentd node enables the agent to ingest logs in the Fluentd forward protocol.

Preparing Fluentd

You can use the following configuration in Fluentd to send log data to Edge Delta.

fluentd.conf

<match **>
      https://docs.fluentd.org/v1.0/articles/in_forward
      @type forward
      heartbeat_type none
      keepalive true
      <security>
            shared_key "sharedKey"  <!--shared key is used between nodes.-->
      </security>
      <server>
            host IP or host <!--to an endpoint which distributes the requests to the ED Agents.-->
            port 3421 <!--Port on which the ED Agents listens for Fluentd sources.-->
      </server>
</match>

Next, add a Fluentd node to your pipeline and configure it with the port.
