Observability pipelines are a critical component on every production environment. Fluentd and Fluent Bit are well known and used for Log collection and processing. But for years our community of users have asked for a unified experience with Metrics collection. In this presentation, you will learn about our new Metrics collection and processing with Fluentd and Fluent Bit. You will learn the best practices for monitoring and how to leverage your current Prometheus services and infrastructure by using all the component together without any observability disruption.
