logagent
A lightweight, extensible log shipper with built-in parsing, buffering, and support for Elasticsearch and other destinations.
What is logagent?
Logagent is an open-source, lightweight log shipper that collects, parses, and forwards log data to destinations like Elasticsearch and Sematext Logs. It combines the roles of log forwarding and processing into a single tool, addressing the need for efficient log management without the high resource consumption of traditional solutions. It is designed to handle structured and unstructured logs with extensible plugins and secure transport.
DevOps engineers, SREs, and developers who need a resource-efficient log shipper for environments like edge devices, containers, or servers where memory and CPU usage are critical.
Developers choose Logagent for its low memory footprint and CPU overhead compared to JVM-based alternatives like Logstash, while still offering features like built-in parsing, buffering, and extensibility. It provides a streamlined, all-in-one solution that reduces operational complexity.
