## Fluentbit setup
[Fluentbit](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual) log collector supports [HTTP output](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/pipeline/outputs/http) compatible with

The `_msg_field` parameter must contain the field name with the log message generated by Fluentbit. This is usually `message` field.
