How this book is organized
The book has four parts that cover eleven chapters and five appendices. The chapters
take you through how to do things, and the appendices provide lots of reference
material and additional supporting resources and tools.
PART 1
Part 1 lays out the big ideas, detailing the architecture of Fluentd and the use cases and
opportunities Fluentd can support, as well as the prerequisites for deploying Fluentd.
We conclude with the section with the classic hands-on “Hello World” example:
Chapter 1 starts with the basics of the elevator pitch for logging unification, tour
ing through the background and fundamental ideas behind logging and Flu
entd. We explore the different use cases and the different perspectives on
logging, and examine ELF and EFK software stacks, as well as the differences
and commonalities among these things.
Chapter 2 goes through the makeup of a log event, how time is important (par
ticularly for distributed solutions), the architecture of Fluentd, and how this
influences decisions. Next, we cover the footprint needed to deploy and run a
basic Fluentd configuration. We conclude by following the tradition of creating
the Fluentd equivalent of a “Hello World” program.
