Route test data to Fluent Bit flexibly. This system can be run locally with a local Fluent Bit process or compiled to a docker image and run with a sidecar aws-for-fluent-bit container.
The purpose of Firelens-Datajet is to abstract test configuration from implementation code It does so by running tests based on a single JSON file and outputing the results.
Future work on this system involves making a REST interface for tests to be invoked by sending a POST request with the test configuration and responding with a test result JSON as the response.
The current driver.ts does not support multiple stages, however the core does support async and sync stages as well as validators. The goal of this project is to eventually encapsulate test stages, validation wrappers, and data transmission in a portable JSON which can be sent to this program and executed at runtime.
To install NodeJS on Amazon Linux, use the following commands
# Source: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v2/developer-guide/setting-up-node-on-ec2-instance.html
# Install Node Version Manager
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
nvm install node
# Verify Node is installed
node -e "console.log('Running Node.js ' + process.version)"
# Add helpful aliases for VSCode
NODE_PATH=$(whereis node | awk '{print $NF}')
NPM_PATH=$(whereis npm | awk '{print $NF}')
sudo ln -s $NODE_PATH /usr/bin/node
sudo ln -s $NPM_PATH /usr/bin/npm
# Verify added aliases (should see two locations)
whereis npm
whereis node
CMake will also need to be installed if Execution wrappers are used, as the testing framework can manage Fluent Bit compilation via CMake.
To run Firelens Datajet locally please install NPM: https://nodejs.org/en/ and run the following commands
cd firelens-datajet
npm install
npm start
A .env file can be added to the project to configure environment variables while testing locally. The file might look something like:
# ---------- Environment Variables ----------
CLIENTS='["environment", "request", "file"]'
CLIENT_REQUEST_PORT=3334
CLIENT_REQUEST_ACCESS_TOKEN=123OPENSESAME
CLIENT_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG='{"generator": {"name": "increment", "config": {"batchSize": 100, "waitTime": 0.050}}, "datajet": {"name": "firelens", "config": {"logStream": "stderr"}}, "stage": {"batchRate": 1, "maxBatches": 5}}'
CLIENT_FILE_NAME='firelens-datajet.json'
See the /examples folder for a set of testing configuration files.
The simplest way to configure FireLens Datajet test framework is with a firelens-datajet.json file.
- Find an example JSON from the
/examplesfolder and copy it to./firelens-datajet/firelens-datajet.json. - If you haven't installed the FireLens Datajet dependencies, then run
npm installfrom the root of the repository. - Then build and run the testing system with
npm start.
A good first example to use is /examples/tcp-forward-file-input/firelens-datajet.json. This example shows Fluent Bit build and
executed, then logs sent in parallel to tcp, forward, and file inputs, and logs, instrumentation data, and byproducts from tail
output plugin captured. You can see this in the ./firelens-datajet/output folder. A new output/fluent-lock-hash folder will
be created in the output folder to help organize testing results. The hash is a hash of the Fluent Bit source commits, and the
Fluent Bit configuration template. Commits and config template are automatically documented in the output/fluent-lock-hash folder.
Individual tests will be added to this folder in a subfolder and timestamped.
After running the test, take a look at the auto-generated output folder's contents

Firelens datajet can be contained in a Docker image.
make
make publish tag="0.1.0"
Firelens Datajet currently supports configuration only with file, environment variable, and request. Documentation on the format of a test definition is still in progress, but in summary, the test definition
- chooses from a data generator which generates data
- sends data via a datajet which outputs data in a way that is accessable to Fluent Bit
- sets some values such as batch rate and batch limits
In the future, test definitions should support multiple synchronous and asynchronous stages, as well as validation wrappers.
Clients are methods for obtaining test configuration and can be selected and configured via environment variables. The following clients are supported:
- Request: tests are posted to the url/execute endpoint
- File: tests description found in file
- Environment: tests description is found as environment variable
A single or multiple clients can be selected with the environment variable CLIENT
# A variable number of clients can be selected
CLIENTS='["environment", "request", "environment"]'
Other environment variables are used to configure specific clients
CLIENTS='["request"]'
# Provide an access token to secure the /execute endpoint
CLIENT_REQUEST_ACCESS_TOKEN=<access_token>
# Change the port FirelensDatajet client listens on
CLIENT_REQUEST_PORT=3334
CLIENTS='["environment"]'
# Test definition
CLIENT_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG='{"generator": {"name": "increment", "config": {"batchSize": 100, "waitTime": 0.050}}, "datajet": {"name": "firelens", "config": {"logStream": "stderr"}}, "stage": {"batchRate": 1, "maxBatches": 5}}'
(this client may need to be updated to allow for root access)
CLIENTS='["file"]'
CLIENT_FILE_NAME='firelens-datajet.json'
- CLIENT_REQUEST_ACCESS_TOKEN: A secret token used to secure request client endpoints via bearer_token (optional), defaults to no security.
- CLIENT_REQUEST_PORT: The port Firelens Datajet will listen on for test configurations (optional), defaults to 3333
Set environment variable ACCESS_TOKEN to the following and save the value.
npm run generate-access-token
CLIENT_REQUEST_ACCESS_TOKEN=<myaccesstoken>
The following request uses the increment data generator and forwards logs to Fire Lens via stdout datajet
POST http://localhost:3333/execute
Bearer Token:<myaccesstoken>
