Postgres Logs to KloudMate using Fluent Bit

2min

This document provides a guide on how to send Postgres logs to KloudMate, using Fluentbit.
In the described setup, Fluent Bit is used as the log exporting agent to send logs. The Postgres system log files are generally stored in different file locations. Fluent Bit will deliver those file logs to KloudMate.
PS: It is important to note, that you must point your path in the INPUT section, to wherever file logs are written.
Step 1: Prerequisites:
﻿Fluentbit binaries and packages as per your system requirement. 
Step 2: Configure fluentbit to send telemetry data to KloudMate backend.
