Description

Fluent Bit input plugin that collects memory information from Linux hosts.

This plugin will only work on hosts running Linux, because it relies on /proc/meminfo file from Procfs.

Requirements

• Docker
• Docker image fluent-beats/fluent-bit-plugin-dev

Build

./build.sh

Test

./test.sh

Design

This plugin was desined to collect data from any mounted Linux meminfo proc file.

It can be used to collect host memory info, even if Fluent Bit is running inside a container, which is not achievable using native Fluent Bit mem plugin.

Potentially LXCFS could bypass that without requiring a custom plugin

Configurations

This input plugin can be configured using the following parameters:

Key	Description	Default
interval_sec	Interval in seconds to collect data	1
proc_path	Path to look for meminfo file	/proc
