Fluent Bit installation on Ubuntu

In order to forward Ubuntu logs to Apica Ascent by leveraging Fluent Bit, do the following.
1.Download the td-agent-bit.sh script from this folder.
2.Make the script executable by running the following command.
chmod +x td-agent-bit.sh
​
For AWS EC2 ubuntu instances
​
chmod +x td-agent-bit-aws.sh
1.Set the cluster details
export LOGIQ="example.logiq.ai"
export MY_TOKEN=<Your Token>
1.Execute the script by running the following command.
HTTP endpoint:
sudo -E ./td-agent-bit.sh "http"
​
HTTPS endpoint:
sudo -E ./td-agent-bit.sh "https"
​
or
​
HTTP endpoint:
sudo bash td-agent-bit.sh "http"
​
HTTPS endpoint:
sudo bash td-agent-bit.sh "https"
​
​
For AWS EC2 Ubuntu instances:
​
HTTP endpoint:
sudo -E ./td-agent-bit-aws.sh "http"
​
HTTPS endpoint:
sudo -E ./td-agent-bit-aws.sh "https"
​
or
​
HTTP endpoint:
sudo bash td-agent-bit-aws.sh "http"
​
HTTPS endpoint:
sudo bash td-agent-bit-aws.sh "https"
​

The script execution carries out the following:
Installs Fluent Bit
Checks your OS versions and updates your sources list, as mentioned in the Fluent Bit documentation.
Configures Rsyslog to add omfwd, as shown below.
*.* action(type="omfwd"
         queue.type="LinkedList"
         action.resumeRetryCount="-1"
         queue.size="10000"
         queue.saveonshutdown="on"
         target="127.0.0.1" Port="5140" Protocol="tcp"
         )
The script also places the td-agent-bit.conf file under the default Fluent Bit installation folder /etc/td-agent-bit as shown below for http and https endpoints.
 For HTTP endpoint
 
 [OUTPUT]
    Name          http
    Match         *
    Host          localhost
    Port          80
    URI           /v1/json_batch
    Format        json
    tls           off
    tls.verify    off
    net.keepalive off
    compress      gzip
    Header Authorization Bearer ${LOGIQ_TOKEN}
 
​
 For HTTPS endpoint
 
   [OUTPUT]
    name     http
    match    *
    host     <logiq endpoint>
    port     443
