  • High stability, used in the production of Alibaba and tens of thousands of Alibaba Cloud customers, and collecting dozens of petabytes of observable data every day with nearly tens of millions deployments.
  • Support plugin expansion, such as collection, processing, aggregation, and sending modules.
  • Support configuration remote management and provide a variety of ways, such as SLS console, SDK, K8s Operator, etc.
  • Supports multiple advanced features such as self-monitoring, flow control, resource control, alarms, and statistics collection.

iLogtail supports the collection of a variety of telemetry data and transmission to a variety of different backends, such as SLS observable platform. The data supported for collection are mainly as follows:

  • Logs
    • Collect static log files
    • Dynamic collect the files when running with containerized environment
    • Dynamic collect Stdout when running with containerized environment
  • Traces
    • OpenTelemetry protocol
    • Skywalking V2 protocol
    • Skywalking V3 protocol
    • ...
  • Metrics
    • Node metrics
    • Process metrics
    • Gpu metrics
    • Nginx metrics
    • Support fetch prometheus metrics
    • Support transfer telegraf metrics
    • ...

Quick Start

For the complexity of C++ dependencies, the compilation of iLogtail requires you have docker installed. If you aim to build iLogtail from sources, you can go ahead and start with the following commands.
