Fluent Bit for Windows

What is Fluent Bit?

Fluent Bit moves telemetry from applications and operating systems into a configured destination. On Windows, its Event Log inputs can collect events from selected channels, while input, filter and output plugins define how records enter a pipeline, change along the way and leave it. It is intended for administrators building logging and observability pipelines, rather than for manually browsing event records.

Run the agent from a terminal or register it as a Windows service. Configuration files specify inputs and outputs; the publisher provides YAML and classic configuration examples. Built-in HTTP monitoring can expose internal metrics for external monitoring tools.

Windows does not support every Fluent Bit plugin. Check the Windows plugin list before adopting an existing configuration, and account for administrator privileges when reading restricted channels such as Security. The linked download is the Windows x64 EXE for version 5.1.3, explicitly listed in the Windows installation guide. The main homepage advertises 5.1.5, so this entry does not describe 5.1.3 as the latest release. The screenshot is a historical Windows setup dialog from the publisher's documentation, showing the former td-agent-bit package name; it is not a capture of the current installer.
