fluentd

Fluentd collects events from various data sources and writes them to files, RDBMS, NoSQL, IaaS, SaaS, Hadoop and so on. Fluentd helps you unify your logging infrastructure (Learn more about the Unified Logging Layer).

TL;DR;

$ helm install stable/fluentd

Introduction

This chart bootstraps an fluentd deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

$ helm install stable/fluentd --name my-release

The command deploys fluentd on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

$ helm delete my-release

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the fluentd chart and their default values.

Parameter	Description	Default
affinity	node/pod affinities	{}
configMaps	Fluentd configuration	See values.yaml
output.host	output host	elasticsearch-client.default.svc.cluster.local
output.port	output port	9200
output.scheme	output port	http
output.sslVersion	output ssl version	TLSv1
output.buffer_chunk_limit	output buffer chunk limit	2M
output.buffer_queue_limit	output buffer queue limit	8
service.type	type of service	ClusterIP
image.pullPolicy	Image pull policy	IfNotPresent
image.repository	Image repository	gcr.io/google-containers/fluentd-elasticsearch
image.tag	Image tag	v2.4.0
imagePullSecrets	Specify image pull secrets	nil (does not add image pull secrets to deployed pods)
ingress.enabled	enable ingress	false
nodeSelector	node labels for pod assignment	{}
replicaCount	desired number of pods	1 ???
resources	pod resource requests & limits	{}
priorityClassName	priorityClassName	nil
service.port	port for the service	80
service.type	type of service	ClusterIP
tolerations	List of node taints to tolerate	[]
persistence.enabled	Enable buffer persistence	false
persistence.accessMode	Access mode for buffer persistence	ReadWriteOnce
persistence.size	Volume size for buffer persistence	10Gi

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

$ helm install stable/fluentd --name my-release \
  --set=image.tag=v0.0.2,resources.limits.cpu=200m

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

$ helm install stable/fluentd --name my-release -f values.yaml

Tip

: You can use the default values.yaml
