Fluentd-based logging requirements and considerations

If you are attempting a real-time analysis of the logs, then you might see a noticeable delay when using the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center plug-in for the MongoDB collection. This happens because the plug-in performs a periodic data flush in to the MongoDB database. The default flush rate is set to 10 seconds and is defined in the /cloudpoint/fluent/fluent.conf configuration file on the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center host.
Note:
This is applicable only if the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center plug-in for MongoDB is enabled.
An alternative approach is to use the STDOUT plug-in for such requirements. The logs appear as the logs of the flexsnap-fluentd container and can be obtained using Docker commands.
