# Logging operator
2323

24-
Logging operator for Kubernetes based on Fluentd and Fluent-bit.
24+
The Logging operator solves your logging-related problems in Kubernetes environments by automating the deployment and configuration of a Kubernetes logging pipeline.
2525

26-
The Logging operator automates the deployment and configuration of a Kubernetes logging pipeline. The operator deploys and configures a Fluent Bit daemonset on every node to collect container and application logs from the node file system. Fluent Bit queries the Kubernetes API and enriches the logs with metadata about the pods, and transfers both the logs and the metadata to Fluentd. Fluentd receives, filters, and transfer logs to multiple outputs. Your logs will always be transferred on authenticated and encrypted channels.

1. The operator deploys and configures a log collector (currently a Fluent Bit DaemonSet) on every node to collect container and application logs from the node file system.
27+
1. Fluent Bit queries the Kubernetes API and enriches the logs with metadata about the pods, and transfers both the logs and the metadata to a log forwarder instance.
28+
1. The log forwarder instance receives, filters, and transforms the incoming the logs, and transfers them to one or more destination outputs. The Logging operator supports Fluentd and syslog-ng as log forwarders.

This operator helps you bundle logging information with your applications: you can describe the behavior of your application in its charts, the Logging operator does the rest.

## Architecture
4551

46-
You can define `outputs` (destinations where you want to send your log messages, for example, Elasticsearch, or and Amazon S3 bucket), and `flows` that use filters and selectors to route log messages to the appropriate outputs. You can also define cluster-wide outputs and flows, for example, to use a centralized output that namespaced users cannot modify.
52+
The Logging operator manages the log collectors and log forwarders of your logging infrastructure, and the routing rules that specify where you want to send your different log messages.
53+
54+
The **log collectors** are endpoint agents that collect the logs of your Kubernetes nodes and send them to the log forwarders. Logging operator currently uses Fluent Bit as log collector agents.
55+
56+
The **log forwarder** instance receives, filters, and transforms the incoming the logs, and transfers them to one or more destination outputs. The Logging operator supports Fluentd and syslog-ng as log forwarders. Which log forwarder is best for you depends on your logging requirements.
57+
58+
You can filter and process the incoming log messages using the **flow** custom resource of the log forwarder to route them to the appropriate **output**. The outputs are the destinations where you want to send your log messages, for example, Elasticsearch, or an Amazon S3 bucket. You can also define cluster-wide outputs and flows, for example, to use a centralized output that namespaced users can reference but cannot modify. Note that flows and outputs are specific to the type of log forwarder you use (Fluentd or syslog-ng).

You can configure the Logging operator using the following Custom Resource Definitions.

50-
- [logging](https://banzaicloud.com/docs/one-eye/logging-operator/configuration/crds/v1beta1/logging_types/) - Represents a logging system. Includes `Fluentd` and `Fluent-bit` configuration. Specifies the `controlNamespace`. Fluentd and Fluent-bit will be deployed in the `controlNamespace`
51-
- [output](https://banzaicloud.com/docs/one-eye/logging-operator/configuration/crds/v1beta1/output_types/) - Defines an Output for a logging flow. This is a namespaced resource. See also `clusteroutput`.
52-
- [flow](https://banzaicloud.com/docs/one-eye/logging-operator/configuration/crds/v1beta1/flow_types/) - Defines a logging flow with `filters` and `outputs`. You can specify `selectors` to filter logs by labels. Outputs can be `output` or `clusteroutput`. This is a namespaced resource. See also `clusterflow`.
53-
- [clusteroutput](https://banzaicloud.com/docs/one-eye/logging-operator/configuration/crds/v1beta1/clusteroutput_types/) - Defines an output without namespace restriction. Only effective in `controlNamespace`.
54-
- [clusterflow](https://banzaicloud.com/docs/one-eye/logging-operator/configuration/crds/v1beta1/output_types/) - Defines a logging flow without namespace restriction.
62+
- [logging](https://kube-logging.github.io/docs/logging-infrastructure/logging/) - The `logging` resource defines the logging infrastructure (the log collectors and forwarders) for your cluster that collects and transports your log messages. It also contains configurations for Fluent Bit, Fluentd, and syslog-ng.
63+
- CRDs for Fluentd:
64+
- [output](https://kube-logging.github.io/docs/configuration/output/) - Defines a Fluentd Output for a logging flow, where the log messages are sent using Fluentd. This is a namespaced resource. See also `clusteroutput`. To configure syslog-ng outputs, see `SyslogNGOutput`.
65+
- [flow](https://kube-logging.github.io/docs/configuration/flow/) - Defines a Fluentd logging flow using `filters` and `outputs`. Basically, the flow routes the selected log messages to the specified outputs. This is a namespaced resource. See also `clusterflow`. To configure syslog-ng flows, see `SyslogNGFlow`.
66+
- [clusteroutput](https://kube-logging.github.io/docs/configuration/output/) - Defines a Fluentd output that is available from all flows and clusterflows. The operator evaluates clusteroutputs in the `controlNamespace` only unless `allowClusterResourcesFromAllNamespaces` is set to true.
67+
- [clusterflow](https://kube-logging.github.io/docs/configuration/flow/) - Defines a Fluentd logging flow that collects logs from all namespaces by default. The operator evaluates clusterflows in the `controlNamespace` only unless `allowClusterResourcesFromAllNamespaces` is set to true. To configure syslog-ng clusterflows, see `SyslogNGClusterFlow`.
68+
- CRDs for syslog-ng (these resources like their Fluentd counterparts, but are tailored to features available via syslog-ng):
69+
- [SyslogNGOutput](https://kube-logging.github.io/docs/configuration/output/#syslogngoutput) - Defines a syslog-ng Output for a logging flow, where the log messages are sent using Fluentd. This is a namespaced resource. See also `SyslogNGClusterOutput`. To configure Fluentd outputs, see `output`.
70+
- [SyslogNGFlow](https://kube-logging.github.io/docs/configuration/flow/#syslogngflow) - Defines a syslog-ng logging flow using `filters` and `outputs`. Basically, the flow routes the selected log messages to the specified outputs. This is a namespaced resource. See also `SyslogNGClusterFlow`. To configure Fluentd flows, see `flow`.
71+
- [SyslogNGClusterOutput](https://kube-logging.github.io/docs/configuration/output/#syslogngoutput) - Defines a syslog-ng output that is available from all flows and clusterflows. The operator evaluates clusteroutputs in the `controlNamespace` only unless `allowClusterResourcesFromAllNamespaces` is set to true.
