As described above, the plugin will handle ingested Bulk API requests. For large bulk ingestions, you may have to increase buffer size with buffer_max_size and buffer_chunk_size parameters:
Ingesting from beats series agents is also supported. For example, Filebeats, Metricbeat, and Winlogbeat are able to ingest their collected data through this plugin.
Note that Calyptia Fluent Bit's node information is returning as Elasticsearch 8.0.0.
So, users have to specify the following configurations on their beats configurations:
For large log ingestion on these beat plugins, users might have to configure rate limiting on those beats plugins when Calyptia Fluent Bit indicates that the application is exceeding the size limit for HTTP requests:
buffer_max_size
Set the maximum size of buffer.
buffer_chunk_size
Set the buffer chunk size.
tag_key
Specify a key name for extracting as a tag.
meta_key
Specify a key name for meta information.
