B.1 Standard plugins based on platform

The tables in this section describe the plugins available for various platforms, based on v2.1 and v3.0 of Fluent Bit. Version 3.0 is denoted by Y (3). In several cases, plugins appear for one platform earlier than another, so don’t be surprised to see Y in one column and Y (3) in another. An empty cell means that the plugin is unavailable for that platform. Each section also identifies the chapter(s) that provide(s) appropriate coverage of the plugin.
