Please join us for Fluent Talks! Our weekly webinar and office hours, on Fridays at 2PM Central. Streaming live on YouTube.
B
Awesome:
hey
everyone!
Thanks
for
joining
flynn
talks.
Today
we
have
a
pretty
interesting
talk.
It's
it's
more
about
some
new
new
tools
that
we
have
available
for
the
fluent
community.
So
it's
something
that
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
have
been
asking
within
flintcon
europe,
north
america
they've
all
asked
hey.
How
do
we
have
more
workshops?
How
do
we
get
started?
And
you
know
this
has
been-
I
think,
a
challenge
in
all
software.
B
How
do
you
get
folks
great
access
to
to
software
to
try
out
without
them
having
to
install
download
and
get
permission
etc?
B
And
we
found
ourselves
in
a
good
opportunity
to
launch
a
sandbox
and
we've
gone
ahead,
and
you
know
partnered
up
with
this
great
service
that
that
really
allows
you
to
walk
through
some
of
the
very
basics
of
a
flint
bit.
So
with
that
we've
we
just
turned
the
the
sandbox
live
and
we'll
be
posting
it
all
throughout
flint
bit
website
flip
it
documentation,
but
it
serves
as
a
great
way,
and
this
is
really
the
first
step.
B
So
I'm
going
to
show
you
kind
of
the
entire
sandbox
end
to
end,
but
you
know
you
could
absolutely
see
this
thing
evolve
over
time.
So
this.
B
B
What
does
what
does
this
thing
look
like?
So
this
is
a
url
we
can.
We
can
post
it
in
the
youtube
channel,
but
essentially
we
have
three
challenges.
You've
got
30
minutes
to
complete
all
these
challenges.
You
can
always
restart
it.
There's
no,
no
big
pressure
there,
but
we're
going
to
cover
a
couple
of
things
in
this
101
series.
You've
got
running
flip
via
command
line.
What
does
it
even
look
like
when
it
runs?
B
How
do
you
configure
flintbit
to
read
from
a
file
and
then
routing
and
tagging,
so
one
of
the
great
ways
of
using
flintbit
is
routing
to
to
multiple
end
destinations,
so
these
are
really
guided
tracks
and
the
the
way
that
you
can
use
this
is,
you
know,
we'll
just
go
ahead
and
click
start,
so
I
will
start
looks
like
it
might
think.
I'm
I'm
a
bot
or
something
so
it
could
have
been
a
big
problem.
B
There
yeah
exactly
so
now
I
had
to
verify
taxis
and
we
got
the
first
set
up
ready
and
we
start
so
right
off
the
bat
you'll
notice.
I
have
a
terminal
and
I
have
my
terminal
and
I
have
a
series
of
instructions
on
the
side.
So
in
this
one
we
have
flip
bit
installed
so
under
flip
it
you'll
find
here's
flip
it
it
exists.
B
You
can
run
it
just
like
that
off
the
command
line
and
we
have
all
the
instructions.
So
the
first
one
is
we're
going
to
run
fluent
bit
via
command
line
and
we're
going
to
use
actually
some
of
the
prometheus
metric
work
that
we've
done
so
here
I
can
go
ahead
and
run
this,
and
this
is
actually.
This
is
real
fluid
bit
like
it's
running
in
a
container.
This
is
1.9.1.
B
Our
latest
version.
That's
live.
It
has
every
full
functionality,
it's
the
real!
It's
the
real
deal.
It's
not.
This
is
not
some
like
stripped
down
version,
fake
version
or
anything
like
that.
It
has
all
the
capabilities
which
is
which
is
pretty
exciting
for
for
this
type
of
sandbox
environment.
So
here
we
have
like
you
know.
We
can
run
control
c
to
exit
out
the
the
application
you
can
see.
A
A
B
Exactly
exactly
so,
you
know
we
we,
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
core
basics
in
this
101
series
and
some
more
ideas
already
coming
up
are
like
hey.
We
can
have
a
whole
series
dedicated
around
kafka,
a
whole
series
dedicated
around
using
open
search
or
elasticsearch,
and
what
does
that
look
like
and
using
the
sandbox
environment?
It
really
gives
us
that
flexibility
to
say
hey
what
what
are
the
challenges
or
things
that
you
want
to
see
or
learn
about,
and
you
as
a
community
can
come
interact
with
us.
B
Tell
us
what
you
want
to
see
and
we
can
look
at
like
how
we
could
we
can
best
build
that
you
know
within
within
these
environments,
and
it's
really
a
lot.
It's
just
it's
a
bit
of
setup,
building
some
instructions.
So
perhaps
there's
even
a
way
that
if
you're
a
community
member
you
want
to
build
a
sandbox
tutorial
or
so
giving
access
to
that.
A
Absolutely
that's
a
great
opportunity
for
the
community
to
get
involved
and
then
for
people
to
request
different
modules
too.
We
can
find
out,
what's
most
important
or
most
most
needed,
we'd
be
happy
to
address
those
as
well
absolutely.
B
Yeah,
I
think
the
best
place
is
probably
github
discussions
at
the
moment.
So
if
you
go
to
the
fluent
fluent
bit,
github
discussions
I'll
I'll
open
that
up
here
in
a
little
bit.
B
Yeah
yeah,
absolutely
in
fact
we
should
announce
this
on
github
discussions
too.
So
folks
have
the
the
opportunity
to
play
with
it.
B
So
here
in
this
second
module,
this
one's
a
little
more
complex,
so
I
think
it's
worthwhile
walking
through,
but
not
too
many
spoilers,
so
you
can
run
through
the
sandbox
yourself
is
within
the
sandbox.
You
also
have
some
some
fake
files.
So
here
we
have
this
access.
Log,
oops.
B
And
it
just
is
basically
some
apache
logs
and
you'll
see.
I
have
some
tabs
up
here
too.
I
can
actually
edit
the
flip
bit
configuration
in
the
tab
here.
So
you
know
this
will
give
me
some
instructions
if
I
want
the
full
documentation,
it's
also
in
line
within
the
sandbox
environment,
so
I
could
search.
If
I
want
to
look
at
the
tail
plug-in
or
something
we
could
go
into
inputs,
we
can
go
into
tail.
B
B
And
we
could
just
run
this
copy
that
command
come
over
here
and
boom
yeah.
We
already
have
all
these
all
of
those
records
that
didn't
have
any
any
format
or
anything
like
that.
We
ran
them
through
and
now
all
of
a
sudden,
we
have,
you
know
a
bunch
of
host
user
method
path,
code,
size,
and
that
gives
us
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
modify
grep
filter
out.
B
You
know
all
sorts
of
all
sorts
of
fun
things
right.
Maybe
we
only
care
about
four
or
four
or
500
errors,
but
you
can
kind
of
see
like
this.
This
bill
helps
us
build
into
a
lot
of
functionality.
A
If
someone
was
to
build
a
configuration
here,
would
at
some
point
they
be
able
to
export
it
and
apply
it
to
their
their
production
environment
in
their
own.
B
Yeah
yeah,
that's
that's
a
good
good
question,
so,
if
it's
more
like,
I
just
want
to
play
with
flip
it,
you
know
more
than
welcome
to
just
use
this
and
don't
no
need
to
follow
the
guides
here.
Yeah
you
just
take
take
out
this.
You
have
this
entire
file
at
your
disposal
and
you
can
basically
can
copy
and
paste
it
down
and
use
it
in
your
production
environment.
I
don't
know
if
there's
an
actual
export,
let's
see
if
this,
I
think
that
creates
a
new
file,
creates
a
new
folder.
B
B
Yeah
to
download
to
download
absolutely
so
we'll
make
note
of
that
for
sure,
but
yeah
for
now
you
can
copy
and
paste
and
again
because
this
is
this
is
full
on
fluid
bit.
You
can
actually
use
some
of
the
network
based
outputs
if
you
want.
So
if
you
want
to
test
writing
an
apache
file
to
splunk
and
you
have
a
splunk
cloud
setup
yeah,
you
could
do
that
all
here.
B
B
No,
that's
a
really
good
question
so
that
the
reason
I
opened
this
in
incognito
was,
I
wanted
to
be
sure,
I'm
accessing
it
completely
without
having
any
login
credentials.
Anything
like
that,
so
there's
nothing
saved
at
all.
Like
yeah.
We
don't
require
you
to
sign
in.
We
don't
require
an
email.
You
can
just
kind
of
get
started
on
the
sandbox
as
as
much
as
you
want,
and
hence
why
there
was
a
a
question
about
hey.
B
Please
fill
out
the
taxis
or
palm
trees,
because
it's
as
much
freedom
as
we
want
to
give
there's
also
the
ability
for
abuse-
and
this
kind
of
helps
helps
prevent
some
of
that
too.
B
Now
the
third
module
we
have
is
really
about
routing
and
and
how
tags
work
in
inside
of
fluid
bit.
So
within
this
this
tagging
system
that
we
have
been
created,
you
can
basically
capture
all
the
data
that
exists
on
the
vm.
You
can
tag
it
in
a
specific
way,
so
you
can
say
hey.
I
want
to
route
that
data
to
standard
out.
I
want
to
route
that
data
to
splunk
and
in
this
particular
lab.
B
What
we
end
up
doing
is
we
configure
two
inputs,
one
dummy
and
one
apache,
and
within
that
those
those
two
inputs
you
can
say.
I
only
want
to
listen
to
dummy
data.
I
only
want
to
listen
to
apache
data
and
and
and
this
one
starts
to
get
into
the
concept
of
hey-
we
have
all
these
capabilities,
all
these
routing
and
metadata
that
get
captured
at
the
flint
bit
side.
How
do
we
start
making
use
of
that
now?
B
I
think
one
of
the
the
fun
things
that
we
have
in
this
track
as
well
and
I'll
just
open
this
another
one
on
the
side,
so
we
don't
have
to
restart.
B
Is
coming
soon,
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
like
reducing
data
and
costs
with
filters?
How
does
that
work?
How
how
can
you
make
use
of
that
we'll
talk
about
routing
data
to
multiple
destinations,
so,
if
you're
using
something
like
output
to
open
search
or
to
splunk,
how
can
you?
How
can
you
basically
route
data
to
both
of
those
and
actually
one
of
the
other
fun
things
here
is
like
with
calyptia.
B
You
know,
since
we
make
a
lot
of
this
really
really
simple
and
easy:
we'll
have
sandboxes
of
our
calyptia
product
as
well,
so
calypto
enterprise
how
to
get
started
with
that?
How
to
use
that
and
and
really
how
to
you
know
how
to
go
about
leveraging
that
in
a
production
environment
in
a
kubernetes
environment,
if
you
have
that
installed
or
not.
B
So
yeah,
I
think
you
know
those
are.
B
Those
are
the
big
things
that
we
have
within
kind
of
the
fluent
sandbox,
and
this
was
this
was
one
of
the
things
that
we
wanted
to
get
in
front
of
folks
as
soon
as
possible,
now
as
to
like,
how
do
they
access
it
today,
it's
really
just
that
url,
I'm
going
to
add
it
to
the
flip
it
documentation,
so
that
it
will
be
there
here
shortly
after
this,
this
video-
and
I
will
look
at
how
do
we
add
it
to
the
fluent
bit
home
page
as
well,
so
that
will
make
it
make
it
super
awesome
for
for
folks
who
who
are
just
visiting
fluid
bit
io
and
want
a
taste
of
hey.
A
That's
great
and
we'll
drop
the
the
link
to
the
sandbox
in
the
chat
here
on
youtube
for
the
fluent
talks
as
well,
but
I
think
this
is
really
powerful.
You
get
to
figure
out
how
to
use
fluentbit
and
realize
all
the
benefits
that
it
could
provide
you
in
your
production
environment
without
any
of
the
barriers
to
having
to
learn
to
deploy
and
configure
it
yourself.
A
We
could
make
a
sandbox
on
how
to
do
that
as
well,
and
I'm
sure
that
will
come
in
the
future.
But
for
now
I
think
it's
great
that
we're
just
showing
the
the
power
of
the
solution
and
and
what
it
could
do
for
you.
B
Yeah
yeah
absolutely,
and
I
think
one
of
the
key
pieces
that
we
try
to
to
solve
for
with
just
general
tooling
from
calypsia
is
how
do
we
reduce
friction?
How
do
we
make
it?
So
it's
super
simple
to
deploy
open
source,
be
successful,
with
open
source
and
and
also
you
use
open
source
and
production,
whether
that's
operationally,
whether
that's
in
cloud,
whether
that's
in
kubernetes
and
having
some
various
products
and
tools
that
that
account
for
that
that's.
A
Great,
so
just
to
reiterate
some
of
the
things
he
said
so
I
I
realized.
I
got
him
correct
to
access
this,
there's
no
requirement
to
provide
any
any
identification.
It's
an
ephemeral
environment,
so
everything
that
you
create
is
gone
once
you
once
you
turn
it
off,
so
we
don't
store
any
of
the
the
content
or
data
either.
It's
purely
for
your
use
in
your
education.
A
We've
got
a
number
of
modules
already
some
challenges
there.
We
plan
to
build
more
with
integrations
to
other
technologies,
for
routing
for
filtering,
and
things
like
that,
so
you
can
learn
even
more.
We
did
get
a
couple
questions
about
a
certification
for
fluent
bid.
Is
that
something
we're
thinking
of
putting
here
or
somewhere
else?
Is
that
in
the
works?
I
know
a
lot
of
people
would
be
interested
in
obtaining
that
that
credential.
B
Yeah
yeah,
absolutely
you
know
when
we,
when
we
think
about
some
of
the
workshops
that
we've
run
in
the
past,
like
how
to
use
flimpa
with
metrics
how
to
use
flip
pit
with
prometheus
this.
This
starts
to
give
a
really
good
framework
for
that,
and
because
it
does
some
of
the
checks
and
and
whatnot,
we
can
issue
calypsia
certification
so
say
you,
for
example,
you've
completed
this
entire
course
of
101..
You
know
you.
B
We
feel
confident
that
by
completing
this
entire
course
understanding
the
content,
you
would
be
able
to
deploy
fluent
bit
successfully,
you'd,
be
able
to
con
route
and
configure
tail
a
log
file
and
configure
probably
a
filter
here
or
there,
and
this
is
a
101,
so
you
know
absolutely
certifications.
B
At
least
klyptia
sponsored
certifications
are
things
that
we'd
feel
comfortable
issuing
where
you
know
you
might
have
five
or
six
of
these
types
of
courses
and
get
a
course
completion
certificate
at
the
end
of
them,
and
you
know
a
fluid
bit
fully
certified
engineer
that
probably
needs
to
be
defined
a
little
bit
but
yeah.
Why
not?
This
is
just
a
great
framework
for
for
doing
that
and
then.
A
We'll
we've
got
fluent
con
coming
up,
and
maybe
you
want
to
give
a
little
plug
for
that,
but
we
could
create
a
demo
jam
challenge
for
the
attendees
there
to
see
who
can
who
can
configure
something
the
most
quickly
and
efficient.
You
know
method
possible.
B
Yeah
yeah,
you
know
so
so,
especially
during
fluentcon.
This
is
gonna
be
great
because
in
the
past,
when
we
run
workshops
at
that-
and
I
guess
just
for
some
background
for
folks
who-
who
might
be
tuning
in
for
the
first
time
we
flinch
on-
is
a
conference
that
is
co-located
with
the
cloud
native
computing
foundation
kubernetes
conference.
B
So
it
takes
place
at
least
this
year
for
kubecon
europe
may
16th
is
fluentcon
and
it
is
about
the
virtual
and
in-person
event.
So
if
you
want
to
attend
virtually
you,
you
can
go
and
sign
up
for
that.
If
you
want
to
attend
physically,
you
can
add
it
to
your
kubecon
registration
and
especially
for
for
those
folks
where
you
know,
we've
built
these
workshops
in
the
past,
when
we've
done
them
in
person,
they've
been
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
folks,
who
are
doing
it
virtually
get
the
same
level
of
attention
and
and
detail.
B
But
here
now
you
know
we'll
be
able
to
use
the
same
type
of
environment
across
both
virtual
and
physical,
so
yeah.
I
think
this.
This
is
going
to
be
really
really
great
for
for
fluent
con.
Some
plugs
of
workshops
are
running
there.
One
is
getting
started
with
flipping
metrics,
so
we
we
showcase
a
little
bit
in
this
101
retrieving
some
of
those
prometheus
metrics,
but
you
know
now
we'll
be
able
to
to
not
just
grab
those
metrics
but
route
them
to
say
a
prometheus
back
end
like
m3,
we
could
do
cortex.
B
We
could
do
other
places
like
thanos,
whatever
prometheus
back-end
is
as
needed
and
again,
if
you
have
your
own
prometheus
back-end,
that's
custom
you
in
the
same
workshop.
Why
send
it
to
a
specific
place?
You
could
send
it
to
your
actual
live
environment
which
is
kind
of
cool,
yeah
and
yeah,
we'll
showcase
some
of
that
we'll
we'll
we
have
an
operator
out
there
so
for
running
on
kubernetes,
we'll
showcase
how
you
can
make
that
really
simple
and
easy
to
use,
but
yeah.
A
B
B
No,
I
think
it
will
keep
it
short
and
sweet,
and
you
know
if,
if
you
saved
up
some
time
for
this,
this
entire
talk
go.
Try
out
this,
the
sandbox
and
let
us
know
your
feedback.
