We need a simple and modern way to manage our logs so that when an issue occurs, we can debug it easily. We now have a way to do this via [Fluent Bit Loki Plugin](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/pipeline/outputs/loki). Reasons for going with fluent-bit: * Very Very low memory footprint, this means we can run this service on a light machine and not have to worry about it, we can also share the host for main backend and fluent-bit. * Very customizable - Fluent Bit has tons of plugins, which means we can redirect our logs to a different log management service, receive logs in various ways, filter log messages, etc. * Support for multiple outputs - This is a strong feature of FluentBit. This lets us output our logs to Granfa Loki, Logzio, Datadog, StdOut, etc all at the same time. Signed-off-by: jay-dee7 <[email protected]>

Description
We need a simple and modern way to manage our logs so that when an issue
occurs, we can debug it easily. We now have a way to do this via
Fluent Bit Loki Plugin. Reasons for going with fluent-bit:
a light machine and not have to worry about it, we can also share the
host for main backend and fluent-bit.
redirect our logs to a different log management service, receive logs
in various ways, filter log messages, etc.
This lets us output our logs to Granfa Loki, Logzio, Datadog, StdOut, etc all
at the same time.
Notes from this PR:
I've included an example config file for fluent-bit at
telemetry/fluent-bit/fluent-bit.toml.examplewhich we can use for deploying a sort of sidecar for logs.HTTPto our local-to-server fluent-bit instance and FluentBit forwards those those logs to Grafana Loki (we can actually change the output to other providers too)Signed-off-by: jay-dee7 [email protected]
