log-agent

log-agent is a cloud native log collection add-on built based on open source fluent-bit and OpenTelemetry. It supports CRD-based log collection policies, collects and forwards standard output logs, container file logs, node logs, and Kubernetes events of containers in a cluster.

The core components of log-agent include fluent-bit, cop-logs, log-operator, and otel-collector.

fluent-bit: indicates the log collector, which is installed on each node as a DaemonSet.
cop-logs: generates and updates configuration files on the collection side.
log-operator: parses and updates log rules.
otel-collector: forwards logs collected by fluent-bit to LTS in a centralized manner.

Resource Quota Requirements of Different Specifications

Ensure that the cluster has sufficient CPU and memory resources for scheduling when installing log-agent. Table 1 describes the resource quota requirements of different log-agent specifications.
