Usage Notes

Exposed Ports:

24224

Run a Fluent Bit instance that will receive messages over TCP port 24224 through the Forward protocol, and send the messages to the STDOUT interface in JSON format every second:

docker run -i -p 24224:24224 icr.io/ibmz/fluent-bit:4.2.2 fluent-bit -i forward -o stdout -p format=json_lines -f 1 

Now run a separate container that will send a test message. This time the Docker container will use the Fluent Forward Protocol as the logging driver:

docker run --log-driver=fluentd -t icr.io/ibmz/ubuntu:22.04 echo "Testing a log message"

You will see the stdout print on the fluent-bit container!
