FluentDo Agent is an open-source, Apache-licensed, downstream distribution of Fluent Bit. It is designed to be stable and secure by default, providing users with predictable releases and long-term support over a span of 24 months.

Key Features

• Optimized for Production: The agent has a smaller footprint, ensuring that only the essential plugins needed for production are included. By employing techniques like dead code elimination and interprocedural optimization, it guarantees efficient deployments.

• Enterprise-Grade Security: The agent is security-hardened by default, featuring enables FORTIFY_SOURCE and stack protection. A number of vendor-specific plugins are disabled by default, with all remote interfaces requiring authentication. It also offers FIPS-compliant builds utilizing OpenSSL in FIPS mode.

• Long-Term Support (LTS): With predictable and reliable 24-month support, users benefit from weekly security patches and critical updates, as well as a quarterly release schedule that emphasizes long-term stability.

• Advanced Capabilities: The agent includes features such as performant log deduplication, capable of reducing costs by up to 40%. It supports high-volume environments with log sampling processing, AI-based filtering, and routing. Additionally, it provides native flattening for OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, ensuring type safety and automatic conflict resolution.

• Battle-Tested Quality: Continuous validation processes are employed, which include a comprehensive integration and regression testing suite. Memory safety checks are conducted using Valgrind and AddressSanitizer, alongside regular performance benchmarks.
