实验环境为2台测试机分别为Server201（192.168.10.201）和Server202（192.168.19.202），分别安装好fluentd，具体安装步骤不再累述。
重点描述2台机器上的配置，目的是将Server202上的日志，通过fluentd桥接的方式，放置到Server201下的某个目录。
1、Server202上fluentd.conf：
<source>
type tail
#需要转储的日志1
path /home/aircom/mongodb-linux-i686-2.0.6/bin/logs/1001.log
format /^*(?<message>.*)$/
tag mongo.apache
</source>
<source>
type tail
#需要转储的日志2
path /home/aircom/mongodb-linux-i686-2.0.6/bin/logs/1002.log
format /^*(?<message>.*)$/
tag mongo.apache
</source>
源日志为2个日志文件。分别为path /home/aircom/mongodb-linux-i686-2.0.6/bin/logs/1001.log和path /home/aircom/mongodb-linux-i686-2.0.6/bin/logs/1002.log
标签为tag mongo.apache，方便match段匹配。
<match mongo.**>
type forward
#转储服务器
host 192.168.19.201
<secondary>
host 192.168.19.201
</secondary>
</match>
分别表示了2台机器，可以添加备用机，这里的主、备机IP均相同，生产环境可以添加不同的IP。
2、Server201上fluent.conf配置
为了方便测试，我们直接修改，将注释直接打开，其含义为匹配没有match的日志，写入到文件。
<match **>
type file
#存储路径
path /var/log/fluent/else
compress gz
</match>
启动fluentd
201上查看配置的路径
[root@Server201 fluentd-0.10.6]# ll /var/log/fluent/
total 68
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 61675 Sep 28 10:20 else.20120928.b4cab973e8d931ee9
产生了文件else.20120928.b4cab973e8d931ee9
3、启动Server202下的fluentd：fluentd -c fluent.conf -deamon -o log/log.log
tail 输入日志，得到后几行输出
2012-09-28 09:58:45 +0800: adding match pattern="mongo.**" type="forward"
2012-09-28 09:58:45 +0800: 'host' option in forward output is obsoleted. Use '<server> host xxx </server>' instead.

2012-09-28 09:58:45 +0800: following tail of /home/aircom/mongodb-linux-i686-2.0.6/bin/logs/1002.log
标记颜色的2行表示2台接受数据的机子，端口为24224，
开始发送数据的时候这个日志还会得到如下输出
2012-09-28 10:02:07 +0800: detached forwarding server '192.168.19.201:24224' host="192.168.19.201" port=24224 phi=8.280932634573869

tail -f /var/log/fluent/else.20120928.b4cab973e8d931ee9
大概显示如下输出，日志刷新频次为1分钟
