 | fluentbit\_output\_dropped\_records\_total | name: the name or alias for the output instance                         | The number of log records that have been dropped by the output. This means they met an unrecoverable error or retries expired for their chunk.                                                                                                                                               | counter | records |
 | fluentbit\_output\_errors\_total           | name: the name or alias for the output instance                         | The number of chunks that have faced an error (either unrecoverable or retriable). This is the number of times a chunk has failed, and does not correspond with the number of error messages you see in the Fluent Bit log output.                                                           | counter | chunks  |

This is the total byte size of all unique chunks sent by this output. If a record is not sent due to some error, then it will not count towards this metric.                                           | counter | bytes   |
