fluent-bit

I couldn't find a link to your git repo on the website btw (repo (https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit) ). I see that your input/output plugins are written in C[0]. I'm guessing this is because of the constraints of the embedded environment, but it really doesn't seem like it would be worth it in a normal one. The LUA sandbox model (e.g. Heka) just seems highly preferable. My main problem with Logstash/Fluentd is precisely the fragility and non-robustness of the plugin system.

For the last year we have been working in a lightweight log shipper product called Fluent Bit[0]. Originally made for Embedded Linux now is taking it place in common environments. It's pretty similar to Fluentd in architecture, some features are: - Event-Driven (async network I/O). - Input / Output plugins. - Data routing based on Tags. - Optional SSL/TLS for networking operations when required. Next major version 0.9 will come with buffering support (memory/file system). Ah, it's fully made in C.
