"Fluentd is awesome"

5/5

What do you like best about Fluentd?

The plugin system makes it incredibly easy to configure destinations. They are really extensive and include many amazon destinations like s3, kinesis and cloudwatch. Easy to deploy. Works well with docker. Simply beautiful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fluentd?

The only thing that I didnt like about Fluentd is that to use plugins you have to install them in the DockerFile which means its difficult to get any non standard value out of it without managing your own docker image. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Fluentd:

Become familiar with the breadth of plugin options early and when deploying in docker realize that you have to install these plugins which means that it is hard to avoid managing your own Fluentd docker image. If you do go down this route I would suggest that you use dockercloud or aws CodeDeploy to manage updates of docker images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fluentd solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Fluentd in production to manage all of our application logs. It allows us to simply fan out our logs into multiple destinations for different purposes. For simple log analysis we pipe he data to cloudwatch. For in depth analysis its piped to elastic search and for long term and data lake considerations it is piped to s3. Its incredibly easy to configure, deploy, scale and manage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fluentd"

4/5

What do you like best about Fluentd?

I like how Fluentd is easy to integrate with other sources and programs. Fluentd is also very versatile with how you can use the program to your specific needs. Fluentd also helps save valuable memory space. It also is a quick download and set up to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fluentd?

The struggle with any program that is so customizable is the fact that it can make it harder to use and learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dependable event forwarding"

3/5

What do you like best about Fluentd?

Fluentd runs stably once installed and we really don't have to think about it very much at all which is an addition by subtraction for our day-to-day activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fluentd?

We tried to do some load balancing and it seemed a little cumbersome to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
