Fluentd is an open-source data collector that allows for the unified logging layer for various data sources. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Fluentd on Manjaro.
Before installing Fluentd, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Before installing Fluentd, update your system by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update the system and install any necessary updates.
Fluentd requires some dependencies to run properly. To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S ruby
This command will install Ruby, which is required to run Fluentd.
To install Fluentd, you can use the RubyGems package manager. Run the following command:
sudo gem install fluentd
This command will install the latest stable version of Fluentd.
Once installed, you can start Fluentd using the following command:
fluentd -c /etc/fluentd/fluent.conf
This command will start Fluentd using the configuration file /etc/fluentd/fluent.conf. If the configuration file doesn't exist, you can create one.
To verify that Fluentd is installed and running, run the following command:
ps aux | grep fluentd
This command will show any running Fluentd processes.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps to install Fluentd on Manjaro. With Fluentd installed, you can now collect data from different sources and send it to a unified logging layer.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
