Configuration Parameters

The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:

Key Description Default
Address Set the address to listen to 0.0.0.0
Port Set the port to listen to 25826
TypesDB Set the data specification file /usr/share/collectd/types.db

Configuration Examples

Here is a basic configuration example.

  1. [INPUT]
  2. Name collectd
  3. Address 0.0.0.0
  4. Port 25826
  5. TypesDB /usr/share/collectd/types.db,/etc/collectd/custom.db
  6. [OUTPUT]
  7. Name stdout
  8. Match *

With this configuration, fluent-bit listens to 0.0.0.0:25826, and outputs incoming datagram packets to stdout.

You must set the same types.db files that your collectd server uses. Otherwise, fluent-bit may not be able to interpret the payload properly.
