jedisct1/flowgger
A fast, secure, and standalone log collector written in Rust that parses, validates, and forwards log data.
What is jedisct1/flowgger?
Flowgger is a fast, simple, and lightweight log data collector written in Rust. It reads log entries over various protocols, decodes them from multiple formats, and asynchronously forwards them to remote data stores or other collectors. It is designed to solve the problem of high-performance, secure log aggregation with minimal dependencies.
DevOps engineers, SREs, and backend developers who need a performant and secure log collector for infrastructure monitoring, especially those seeking an alternative to heavier tools like Logstash or Fluentd.
Developers choose Flowgger for its combination of high performance, memory safety due to being written entirely in safe Rust, and standalone deployment as a single executable without JVM dependencies. Its paranoid validation ensures data integrity, making it a robust choice for critical log processing pipelines.
