Integrations

REST

Platform

Web support
Api support

People bring Fluentd in for unified log collection and routing from many sources to many destinations, parsing and transforming log records before forwarding, aggregating logs from containers into elasticsearch, s3 or a siem. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Fluentd are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

How that compares in Log Management

Too few log management tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Before you pay for Fluentd

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

Fluentd runs on web, api, and is published by Cloud Native Computing Foundation of United States. The full record is on the Fluentd review, and the rest of the category is under best log management tools.
