Fluent Bit Logging

Validate, lint, and test Fluent Bit log pipelines. Checks config syntax, enforces best practices, flags security issues, and runs dry-run tests on inputs, filters, parsers, and outputs before you ship a logging config to production.

This skill is a Fluent Bit config toolkit: it validates INI/YAML pipeline syntax, lints inputs/filters/parsers/outputs against best practices, surfaces security and buffering pitfalls, and dry-run tests configurations. Use it to catch broken log pipelines before they drop or duplicate data.

When to use

Use when writing or reviewing Fluent Bit configurations — validating syntax, checking parser and filter best practices, or dry-run testing a log pipeline before deploy.

Examples

Validate a log pipeline

Lint before deploy

Review my Fluent Bit config that tails Kubernetes container logs, parses JSON, and ships to Loki — flag any syntax errors or buffering risks

Add a multiline parser

Handle stack traces

Help me add a Fluent Bit multiline parser so Java stack traces are captured as a single log record instead of one line per frame
