Kubernetes plugin for log forwarding

New Relic offers an output plugin for Fluent Bitto easily forward your logs to New Relic Logs. This plugin is also provided in a standalone Docker image that can be installed in a Kubernetes cluster in the form of a DaemonSet. We refer to this as our Kubernetes plugin for log forwarding.

Forwarding your Kubernetes logs to New Relic will give you enhanced log management capabilities to collect, process, explore, query, and alert on your log data.

Enable Kubernetes for log management

To forward your Kubernetes logs to New Relic with our plugin:

  1. Install the New Relic Kubernetes integration following the steps from this page. This integration includes the Kubernetes plugin for logs.
  2. Optionally, you can further tune your installation in Step 3 from the guided install using the numerous configuration options available in the newrelic-logging repository. However, we recommend the standard setup, as it is valid for most users.
  3. Generate some traffic and wait a few minutes, then check your account for data.
