I want to use the "td-agent-bit" service to output logs into MySql. I have installed MySql and it runs on port 3306 (I left the default port). Then I created a database named "logs_db". Inside the "logs_db" database I created a table named "logs_tb" with a column "text" of type varachar(255). I configured the output section of my "td-agent-bit.conf" file like this.
[OUTPUT]
Name mysql
Match *
Host localhost
Port 3306
Database logs_db
Table logs_tb
Column text
User root
Password d3qfeftgwff
Then I restarted the "td-agent-bit" service but it gives an error:
Feb 12 08:23:57 fluent-bit-d-machine systemd[1]: td-agent-bit.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
Feb 12 08:23:57 fluent-bit-d-machine systemd[1]: td-agent-bit.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Feb 12 08:23:57 fluent-bit-d-machine systemd[1]: Failed to start TD Agent Bit.
The "mysql" service run properly. So what is wrong?
I fear that MySql is not supported by Fluent Bit. In fact when I launched the command "fluent-bit -H" to see all the available plugins I didn't see mysql, but I saw pgsql. Therefore I tried PostgreSql and it worked. The correct configuration is the following
"postgres" is the default user. "logs_db" is a database that must be created manually. Meanwhile the table "logs_tb" is created automatically. In the configuration we only have to indicate the name that it will be given, but we are not supposed to create it ourselves.
