Fluentd is an event collector system. It is a generalized version of syslogd, which handles JSON objects for its log messages.
== Architecture
Fluentd collects events from various data sources and writes them to files, database or other types of storages:
Web apps ---+ +--> file
| |
+--> ---+
/var/log ------> Fluentd ------> mail
+--> ---+
| |
Apache ---- +--> Fluentd
Fluent also supports log transfer:

Proxy server | Log server, Amazon S3, HDFS, ...
+---------+ +--> +---------+
| Fluentd ----------> | Fluentd ||
+---------+| +--> +---------+|
+---------+ | +---------+
|
Database server |

| Fluentd ---------> mail

An event consists of *tag*, *time* and *record*. Tag is a string separated with '.' (e.g. myapp.access). It is used to categorize events. Time is a UNIX time recorded at occurrence of an event. Record is a JSON object.
== Quick Start
$ gem install fluentd
$ # install sample configuration file to the directory
$ fluentd -s conf
$ fluentd -c conf/fluent.conf &
$ echo '{"json":"message"}' | fluent-cat debug.test
