Forward

Forward Source Plugin
Forward is a lightweight protocol that is optimized for low-latency and high-throughput data transmission over the network. The Forward protocol supports both TCP and UDP transport protocols and provides options for configuring data buffering and batching to optimize network usage.
You can use the Forward Source Plugin to configure your calyptia core pipeline to recieve data from your agents that can send with that format (E.g. Fluentd, Fluent Bit, even Calyptia Core itself)
