How deeply does Logs and Telemetry cover gzip?

Explains the configuration property and compatibility requirement but does not detail gzip’s compression internals.

Gzip

gzip is a lossless compression format and utility commonly used to reduce the size of transmitted or stored data.

gzip is a lossless compression option for reducing large JSON payloads sent through Fluent Bit’s HTTP output. Enable it with the output’s compress property; both endpoints must support the algorithm. section 5.8

Use gzip when configuring HTTP event delivery:

Set the compression type to gzip on the HTTP output. section 5.8
Apply it when transmitting substantial JSON data to reduce the payload. section 5.8
Confirm that both sides of the connection support gzip before enabling it. section 5.8
