Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
A temporary docs change to recommend users use the official fluent bit plugin rather than the community plugin. This will give us time to update the docs.

# Fluent Bit client

{{< admonition type="note" >}}
It is now recommended to use the official [Fluent Bit Loki output plugin](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/pipeline/outputs/loki) rather than the [grafana-loki plugin](https://github.com/grafana/loki/tree/main/clients/cmd/fluent-bit).

Both the documentation and the video will be updated accordingly.
{{< /admonition >}}


[Fluent Bit](https://fluentbit.io/) is a fast and lightweight logs and metrics processor and forwarder that can be configured with the Grafana Fluent Bit Plugin described here or with the [Fluent-bit Loki output plugin](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/pipeline/outputs/loki) to ship logs to Loki.
This plugin has more configuration options compared to the built-in Fluent Bit Loki plugin.
You can define which log files you want to collect using the [`Tail`](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/pipeline/inputs/tail) or [`Stdin`](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/pipeline/inputs/standard-input) data pipeline input. Additionally, Fluent Bit supports multiple `Filter` and `Parser` plugins (`Kubernetes`, `JSON`, etc.) to structure and alter log lines.
