Logging operator

Logging operator for Kubernetes based on Fluentd and Fluent-bit.

The Logging operator automates the deployment and configuration of a Kubernetes logging pipeline. The operator deploys and configures a Fluent Bit daemonset on every node to collect container and application logs from the node file system. Fluent Bit queries the Kubernetes API and enriches the logs with metadata about the pods, and transfers both the logs and the metadata to Fluentd. Fluentd receives, filters, and transfer logs to multiple outputs. Your logs will always be transferred on authenticated and encrypted channels.

What is this operator for?

This operator helps you bundle logging information with your applications: you can describe the behavior of your application in its charts, the Logging operator does the rest.

Feature highlights

  • Namespace isolation
  • Native Kubernetes label selectors
  • Secure communication (TLS)
  • Configuration validation
  • Multiple flow support (multiply logs for different transformations)
  • Multiple output support (store the same logs in multiple storage: S3, GCS, ES, Loki and more...)
  • Multiple logging system support (multiple fluentd, fluent-bit deployment on the same cluster)

Architecture

You can define outputs (destinations where you want to send your log messages, for example, Elasticsearch, or and Amazon S3 bucket), and flows that use filters and selectors to route log messages to the appropriate outputs. You can also define cluster-wide outputs and flows, for example, to use a centralized output that namespaced users cannot modify.

You can configure the Logging operator using the following Custom Resource Definitions.

  • logging - Represents a logging system. Includes Fluentd and Fluent-bit configuration. Specifies the controlNamespace. Fluentd and Fluent-bit will be deployed in the controlNamespace
  • output - Defines an Output for a logging flow. This is a namespaced resource. See also clusteroutput.
  • flow - Defines a logging flow with filters and outputs. You can specify selectors to filter logs by labels. Outputs can be output or clusteroutput. This is a namespaced resource. See also clusterflow.
  • clusteroutput - Defines an output without namespace restriction. Only effective in controlNamespace.
  • clusterflow - Defines a logging flow without namespace restriction.

See the detailed CRDs documentation.

Quickstart

asciicast

Follow these quickstart guides to try out the Logging operator!

Install

Deploy Logging Operator with Kubernetes manifests or Helm chart.

Caution: The master branch is under heavy development. Use releases instead of the master branch to get stable software.
