This series is a general purpose getting started guide for those of us wanting to learn about the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project Fluent Bit.
Each article in this series addresses a single topic by providing insights into what the topic is, why we are interested in exploring that topic, where to get started with the topic, and how to get hands-on with learning about the topic as it relates to the Fluent Bit project.
The idea is that each article can stand on its own, but that they also lead down a path that slowly increases our abilities to implement solutions with Fluent Bit telemetry pipelines.
Let's take a look at the topic of this article, using Fluent Bit tips for developers. In case you missed the previous article, check out the developers guide to service section configuration where you get tips on making the most of your developer inner loop with Fluent Bit.
This article will be a hands-on tour of the things that help you as a developer testing out your Fluent Bit pipelines. We'll take a look at the input plugin section of a developers telemetry pipeline configuration.
