# Docker compose Fluentbit integration with VictoriaLogs for docker. High-Availability example 

The folder contains the example of integration of [fluentbit](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual) with VictoriaLogs Single-Nodes(s) and [vmauth](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth/) for achieving High Availability. 

Check [this documentation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/#high-availability) with a description of the architecture and components.

To spin-up environment  run the following command:

```shell
docker compose up -d 
```

To shut down the docker-compose environment run the following command:

```shell
docker compose down
docker compose rm -f
```

The docker compose file contains the following components:

* fluentbit - fluentbit is configured to collect logs from the `docker`, you can find configuration in the `fluent-bit.conf`. It writes data in VictoriaLogs
* VictoriaLogs - the two instances of log database, they accept the data from `fluentbit` by json line protocol
* vmauth - load balancer for proxying requests to one of VictoriaLogs

Querying the data

* [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/querying/#vmui) - a web UI is accessible by `http://localhost:8427/select/vmui/`
* for querying the data via command-line please check [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/querying/#command-line)


the example of fluentbit configuration(`fluent-bit.conf`)

[OUTPUT]
    Name http
    Match *
    host victorialogs-1

```

Please, note that `_stream_fields` parameter must follow recommended [best practices](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/keyconcepts/#stream-fields) to achieve better performance.

The example of vmauth configuration (`auth.yml`)

```yaml
