Lightning Talk: Fluentd as syslog drain for CloudFoundry
Lightningat FluentCon: Cloud Native Logging Day with Fluent Bit and Fluentd Europe 2021 · on Tuesday, 2021-05-04·
summary
Shows a working Fluentd setup that accepts Cloud Foundry syslog drains over RFC5424 syslog (tcp/udp, optional TLS or syslog-over-https), extracts CF structured metadata with a three-step flow (strip brackets, parse with labeled TSV filter, strip quotes), and handles three message types: app JSON, gorouter access lines via a long regex, and runtime events left as plain text. Uses small Ruby snippets for pre/post processing and the multi-format parser plugin; provides a basic, extendable Fluentd config that actually parses and routes real CF logs.
