Flowgger is a fast, simple and lightweight data collector. It reads log entries over a given protocol, extracts them, decodes them using a given format, re-encodes them into a different format, and asynchronously pushes the result into a remote data store. Flowgger is designed to be: - Paranoid: it carefully validates input data to prevent injection of malformed/incomplete records down the chain. - Safe: written in Rust, without any unsafe code. - Fast: even though messages are systematically parsed and validated, Flowgger is orders of magnitude faster than Logstash and Fluentd. - Standalone: it comes as a single executable file, and doesn't require a JVM. Flowgger supports common input types: stdin, UDP, TCP, TLS and Redis, as well as multiple input formats: JSON (GELF), LTSV, Cap'n Proto and RFC5424. Normalized messages can be sent to Kafka, Graylog, to downstream Flowgger servers, or to other log collectors for further processing. WWW: https://github.com/jedisct1/flowgger
