I love that you talk fast, so that I can listen faster at 2x!

Great video and perfect config intro to using fluentd. I convinced my team to try it, so now I'm relying on your videos to help me implement!

learnt a log from this. I had some problems with elasticache versions and after about 4 hours got to the answer of fixing the build issues but was well worth it. Thanks for taking the time to create this content

Hey Marcel great video, have a suggestion for fluentd, what if you could include the prometheus plugin of fluetd, it converts logs into metrics and it is very helpful.
