Confirming Data Upload

td-agent was discontinued in December 2023 and has been replaced by fluent-package. The fluent-package is the official successor maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

You can add logs in JSON format using HTTP.

$ curl -X POST -d 'json={"action":"login","user":2}' \
http://localhost:8888/td.testdb.www_access

Fluentd continuously uploads logs every 5 minutes. You can force Fluentd to flush the buffered logs into the cloud by sending a SIGUSR1 signal.

# Linux
$ kill -USR1 $(cat /var/run/fluent/fluentd.pid)

Go to TD Console > Databases to check if the data got imported successfully. Or from the CLI, you can check by issuing the td tables command:

$ td tables
+------------+------------+------+-----------+
| Database   | Table      | Type | Count     |
+------------+------------+------+-----------+
| testdb     | www_access | log  | 1         |
+------------+------------+------+-----------+

If you run into any issues, the Fluentd log (/var/log/fluent/fluentd.log) is a good place to start your investigation.
