Fluent is an event collector system. It's said that Fluent is generalized version of syslogd, which can deal with JSON object for the log message.
== Archtecture
Fluent collects events from various data sources and write them to files, database or other storages:
Web apps ---+ +--> file
| |
+--> ---+
/var/log ------> fluentd ------> mail
+--> ---+
| |
apache ---- +--> fluentd
Fluent also supports log transfer:
Web server

| fluentd -------
+---------+| |
+---------+ |
|
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 when the event occurs. Record is a JSON object.
== Quick Start
$ gem install fluentd
$ fluentd &
$ echo '{"json":"message"}' | fluent-cat debug.test
