Usage

The fluent-bit-watcher image is a wrapper around the fluent-bit image. It watches the watch-path for changes and restarts fluent-bit whenever a change is detected.

You can use Helm to deploy fluent-bit-watcher with the following steps:

Add the fluent Helm repository:

helm repo add fluent https://fluent.github.io/helm-charts

Add the following to your values.yaml file:

image:
  repository: cgr.dev/chainguard-private/fluent-bit-watcher
  tag: latest
command: "/fluent-bit/bin/fluent-watcher"
args:
- "-c=/fluent-bit/etc/conf/fluent-bit.conf"
- "-watch-path=/fluent-bit/etc/conf"

Then install the chart:

helm upgrade --install fluent-bit \
    -f values.yaml \
    fluent/fluent-bit
