About Stanza

Stanza is a fast and lightweight log transport and processing agent. It's designed as a modern replacement for Fluentd, Fluent Bit, and Logstash and can run as a standalone agent on all major operating systems. Stanza is also highly integrated to perform seamlessly with the applications in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) based production environments.

OpenTelemetry

Stanza has been contributed to the OpenTelemetry project and will be intergrated into the OpenTelemetry collector.

Features

• Flexible
  • Supports many different input types such as file, journald, windows events, tcp / udp, and external APIs (cloudwatch, azure log analytics) as well as parsing with json and regex.
  • Easily extended by writing an "operator" or "plugin" which is just a unit of code that performs a task such as reading data from a source, parsing data, or shipping data.
• Pre-built Plugins
  • Over 80 Plugins have been pre-built and are ready to be configured.
• Lightweight with low resource consumption
  • Uses next to no resource while idling. It does not pollute the system with tons of clutter, it exists strictly in /opt/observiq/stanza with just a few files.
• Written in pure Go
  • Everything is self contained into a single binary, there are no external dependencies.
• High Performance
  • Stanza is proven to be significantly faster than fluentd and more stable at high throughput than fluentbit.
