Hi @tinkertwain ,
Although I never used fluent-bit snap myself, I have seen several discussions on the forum. It seems like, there is a snap but it is not fully functional and configurable.
Fluent Bit is a log processor that can be configured to retrieve messages following content of log files, through TCP, UDP, Systemd, and many other sources.
Classic confinement is required to access arbitrary file system paths and any TCP port for data collection.

Fixes #2615
I added permission to read fluent-bit.conf with system files int… erface.
