Kubernetes with Fluent-Bit

The following manual will help you integrate your Kubernetes logs to Coralogix using Fluent-Bit.

See other tutorials for:

Prerequisites

Before you will begin, make sure that you already have:

Installed Kubernetes Cluster
Enabled RBAC authorization mode support

Installation

First, you should create Kubernetes secret with Coralogix credentials:

$ kubectl -n kube-system create secret generic fluent-bit-coralogix-account-secrets \
    --from-literal=PRIVATE_KEY=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

You should receive something like:

secret "fluent-bit-coralogix-account-secrets" created

Then you need to create fluent-bit-coralogix-logger resources on your Kubernetes cluster with these manifests:

$ kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coralogix/integrations-docs/master/integrations/fluent-bit/kubernetes/fluent-bit-coralogix-rbac.yaml
$ kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coralogix/integrations-docs/master/integrations/fluent-bit/kubernetes/fluent-bit-coralogix-svc.yaml

Plugin based

$ kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coralogix/integrations-docs/master/integrations/fluent-bit/kubernetes/fluent-bit-coralogix-cm.yaml
$ kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coralogix/integrations-docs/master/integrations/fluent-bit/kubernetes/fluent-bit-coralogix-ds.yamlNative based
$ kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coralogix/integrations-docs/master/integrations/fluent-bit/kubernetes/fluent-bit-native-coralogix-cm.yaml
$ kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coralogix/integrations-docs/master/integrations/fluent-bit/kubernetes/fluent-bit-native-coralogix-ds.yaml

Output:

serviceaccount "fluent-bit-coralogix-service-account" created
clusterrole "fluent-bit-coralogix-service-account-role" created
clusterrolebinding "fluent-bit-coralogix-service-account" created
configmap "fluent-bit-coralogix-config" created
daemonset "fluent-bit-coralogix-daemonset" created
service "fluent-bit-coralogix-service" created

Now fluent-bit-coralogix-logger collects logs from your Kubernetes cluster.

Here is the example of log record:

{
    "log": "172.17.0.1 - - [05/Apr/2020:22:59:52 +0000] \"GET / HTTP/1.1\" 200 6 \"\" \"kube-probe/1.18\"\n",
    "stream": "stdout",
    "time": "2020-04-05T22:59:52.096035683Z",
    "kubernetes": {
        "pod_name": "dashboard-metrics-scraper-84bfdf55ff-l66cf",
        "namespace_name": "kubernetes-dashboard",
        "labels": {
            "k8s-app": "dashboard-metrics-scraper",
            "pod-template-hash": "84bfdf55ff"
        },
        "annotations": {
            "seccomp.security.alpha.kubernetes.io/pod": "runtime/default"
        },
        "host": "minikube",
        "container_name": "dashboard-metrics-scraper",
        "container_image": "kubernetesui/metrics-scraper:v1.0.2"
    }
}

Uninstall

If you want to remove fluent-bit-coralogix-logger from your cluster, execute this:

$ kubectl -n kube-system delete secret fluent-bit-coralogix-account-secrets
$ kubectl -n kube-system delete svc,ds,cm,clusterrolebinding,clusterrole,sa \
     -l k8s-app=fluent-bit-coralogix-logger
