Fluentd is an open-source data collector designed to unify the collection and consumption of data across various sources and destinations. It is commonly used for log aggregation and processing, enabling the transformation and routing of logs to different outputs such as databases, cloud services, and data analysis tools. Fluentd is highly extensible, supporting numerous plugins that allow it to integrate with a wide range of systems and services.
