Debian

    The first step is to add our server GPG key to your keyring, on that way you can get our signed packages:

    Debian 10 (Buster)

    Debian 9 (Stretch)

    Debian 8 (Jessie)

    1. deb https://packages.fluentbit.io/debian/jessie jessie main

    Now let your system update the apt database:

    1. $ sudo apt-get install td-agent-bit

    Now the following step is to instruct systemd to enable the service:

    1. sudo service td-agent-bit status
    2. Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/td-agent-bit.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
    3. Main PID: 6739 (td-agent-bit)
    4. Memory: 656.0K
    5. CPU: 1.393s
    6. CGroup: /system.slice/td-agent-bit.service

    The default configuration of td-agent-bit is collecting metrics of CPU usage and sending the records to the standard output, you can see the outgoing data in your /var/log/syslog file.
