Home Assistant Addon for Fluent Bit

Place the configuration file in the /addon_configs/*_fluent_bit directory on the Home Assistant server. By default the addon will look for a file named fluent_bit.conf in this directory.

I recommend using the File Editor addon to create and edit the configuration file. You can find the File Editor addon in the Home Assistant Community Add-ons repository. After installing the addon you will need to turn off the Enforce Basepath option in the addon configuration. This will allow you to access the /addon_configs directory.

Please note that this directory will not be created until you start the addon for the first time. The start of the path will also contain some random characters, so the full path will look something like /addon_configs/abc123_fluent_bit.

Below is an example configuration file for Fluent Bit. This configuration will read logs from the systemd journal. You would need to add an output section to send the logs to your desired destination. For a list of supported outputs see the Fluent Bit documentation.

[INPUT]
  Name systemd
  Path /var/log/journal
  DB /data/fluent-bit.db
