      Goals

      • Users can configure compression in the collector

      Non-Goals

      • Ensuring that the compression codec/binary is available on the node

      Motivation

      In case of a high log volume it is feasible to reduce the network load and avoid overloading external long-term logging solution by enabling compression in the collector. This leads to a more efficient usage of resources but can increase the resource usage of the node. Customer should be able to decide if they want to have compression enabled for the log-forwarding.

      Alternatives

      • none I'm aware of

      Acceptance Criteria

      • Compression can be enabled for the collector through the API

      Risk and Assumptions

      • Increased consumption of CPU through the collector
      • Misconfiguration is possible (compression binary is not available on the node)

      Documentation Considerations

      • Document how to use it and which compression is available

      Open Questions

      Additional Notes

      • gzip /bzip2 is already available in RHCOS.

            Closing this epic as this is possible as of release 5.9 and continued as part of the 6.0 API

            What output do you wish us to support? Vector supports this with AWS, Vector, Splunk, Loki, Kafka sinks

            Can we get an update on this RFE it we will consider it or not ? It's frustrating for the customer to not get even a decision from us.

            Thanks for your support and understanding

            Michi
