Please restart your agent once these lines are in place.
First, install the fluent-logger library via pip.
Next, initialize and post the records as shown below.

Output to Another Fluentd
Output to MongoDB or MongoDB ReplicaSet
Output to Hadoop
Output to File
For high-traffic websites (more than 5 application nodes), we recommend using a high availability configuration of td-agent. This will improve data transfer reliability and query performance.
Monitoring Fluentd itself is also important. The article below describes general monitoring methods for td-agent.
