Community Test: Upcoming v1.3 release

[edsiper]

Fluent Bit v1.3 is around the corner and I would like to ask for community input before the final release.

The test docker image is located here:

edsiper/fluent-bit-1.3-next:1

would you please give it a try and provide some feedback ?

Overall improvements

• in_tcp
• in_forward
• gelf
• stream processor
• out_datadog
• stackdriver
• others...

Is this a multi-architecture manifest?

[edsiper]

[edited] only x86_64

My bad, I replied the wrong thread!

This is only x86_64

Would Fluent Bit 1.3 pass the JSON Correctness Test by Timber?

Never mind, it seems to be a problem with their test case.

[edsiper]

@l2dy yep, their tests and overall info when comparing Fluent Bit v/s Vector is not accurate, I opened an issue like 7 weeks ago about this:

vectordotdev/vector#727

Also, I did some performance tests and got totally different results :)

So release v1.3 will arrive tomorrow unless something comes up last minute.

@edsiper For what it's worth, I can confirm v1.3 compiles fine on Windows.

I've also run Fluent Bit with in_tail + out_forward a few hours on Windows
too. It worked without issues, so I think it's ready to be released.

@edsiper one question. I see that images for 1.1 and 1.2 are near 53.2MB, at the same time images that you have mentioned here above 230MB, is it expected?

[edsiper]

@loburm yes, images mentioned here are just based on ubuntu-slim.

Note that v1.3 has been released (releases notes will arrive shortly), give it a try:

fluent/fluent-bit:1.3.0

note: that one is a multi arch image now: x86_64, arm32v7 and arm64v8
