fluent-bit s3 output plugin

Windows binaries are available in release pages.

This plugin works with fluent-bit's go plugin interface. You can use fluent-bit-go-s3 to ship logs into AWS S3.

The configuration typically looks like:

fluent-bit --> AWS S3

Usage

$ fluent-bit -e /path/to/built/out_s3.so -c fluent-bit.conf

Or,

$ make build-image

and then, specify configuration parameters as environment variables:

$ docker run -it -e="FLUENT_BIT_ACCESS_KEY_ID=yourawsaccesskey" \
                 -e="FLUENT_BIT_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=yourawsaccesssecret" \
                 -e="FLUENT_BIT_BUCKET_NAME=yourbucketname" \
                 -e="FLUENT_BIT_S3_PREFIX=yours3prefix" \
                 -e="FLUENT_BIT_REGION=awsregion" \
                 -e="FLUENT_BIT_SUFFIX_ALGORITHM=algorithm" \
                 cosmo0920/fluent-bit-go-s3[:built-image-version]

If the default credentials are not desired, this plugin supports the following credential providers.

Shared Credentials

Create the following file which includes credentials:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Then, specify the following parameter in fluent-bit configuration:

Credential    /path/to/sharedcredentialfile

Static Credentials

Specify the following parameters in fluent-bit configuration:

AccessKeyID     yourawsaccesskeyid
SecretAccessKey yourawssecretaccesskey
