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)
The following are General configuration Parameters for Forward Source Plugin.

Host | Listener network interface |
Port | TCP port to listen for incoming connections |
Unix Socket Path | Specify the path to unix socket to receive a Forward message. If set, Listen and Port are ignored. |
Unix Socket | Set the permission of the unix socket file. If Unix_Path is not set, this parameter is ignored |
Max Buffer Size | Specify the maximum buffer memory size used to receive a Forward message. The value must be according to the Unit Size specification. |
Buffer Chunk Size | By default the buffer to store the incoming Forward messages, do not allocate the maximum memory allowed, instead it allocate memory when is required. The rounds of allocations are set by Buffer_Chunk_Size. The value must be according to the Unit Size specification. |
Tag Prefix | Prefix incoming tag with the defined value. |
The following are Security and TLS configuration Parameters for Forward Source Plugin.
Key | Description |
---|---|
TLS | Enable or Disable TLS/SSL support |
TLS Certificate Validation | Turn TLS/SSL certificate validation on / off, TLS must be on for this setting to be enabled. |
TLS Debug Level | Set TLS debug verbosity level. It accepts the following values: 0 (No debug), 1 (Error), 2 (State change), 3 (Informational), and 4 Verbose |
