New Fluent Bit Sandbox!

[agup006]

We have a new Fluent Bit sandbox that is available here: https://play.instruqt.com/Fluent/tracks/fluent-bit-getting-started-101

We will continually evolve this to add more content based on what the community wants. Be sure to add commends / feedback below!

It's not clear that changes in "Fluent Bit Configuration" tab need to be saved manually by pressing an icon, and I did not find a keyboard shortcut for that.

[agup006]

Ah great feedback, I'll add a note that users should press that for saving

The main reason for me to play with fluent on the command line is to mess about with troubleshoot filters and parsers, so some examples of how to do that would be nice.

A common question is: How do I route my logs to different (splunk indexes|elasticsearch indexes|kafka topics...) per (systemd service|kubernetes container...)

Looks like we have Windows VM support from Instruqt now as well so @seveas that'll help with my similar need to test things on platforms I do not easily have access too!

I get a 404 when accessing the sandbox now. I am logged into instruqt

There was a change on the Instruqt side to include a token now in the URL. Let me see if I can find the right link on mobile.

Via the blog post: https://calyptia.com/2022/04/12/introducing-the-calyptia-sandbox-environment-for-fluent-bit/

Seems to work for me.

@agup006 can you update your original post?

[brunson]

Works now, thanks!

Hitting the start button gives the following error:

There are various limits/protections in place so I would retry later - we've seen issues with commercial networks looking like they're sharing an IP so it appears to be a DOS attack when lots of people in the org try to start a track.
