Add an agent to a fleet
An Agent is a standalone machine in a Fleet. Agents can be bare metal servers, virtual machines, computers, and so on.
To add an agent to a Fleet, run the Fluent Bit installation with a corresponding Fleet Config.
A Fleet Config file typically consists of a Name
, the associated Fleet_Name
,
and your API_Key
.
[CUSTOM]
Name calyptia
API_Key {API_KEY}
Fleet_Name {FLEET_NAME}
Next, Fluent Bit installation with the configuration file:
fluent-bit -c {FLEET_CONFIG_FILE}
Fluent Bit will now run as a part of your Fleet using the same Fluent Bit configuration described in your Fleet.
Using the following command, you can also use the Calyptia-LTS image to add an agent to your Fleet:
docker run --rm -ti -v /etc/machine-id:/etc/machine-id -v $PWD/fleet.conf:/fluent-bit/etc/fleet.conf ghcr.io/calyptia/internal/lts:pr-492 -c {FLEET_CONFIG_FILE}
After adding all your agents to your Fleet, any updates to the Fluent Bit configuration for your Fleet are propagated to all agents in the Fleet.
