## Single line install
A simple installation script is provided to be used for most Linux targets. This will always install the most recent version released.
```
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fluent/fluent-bit/master/install.sh | sh
```
This is purely a convenience helper and should always be validated prior to use. The recommended secure deployment approach is to follow the instructions below.


## Configure Yum
We provide fluent-bit through a Yum repository. In order to add the repository reference to your system, please add a new file called fluent-bit.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ with the following content:
Amazon Linux 2
```
[fluent-bit]
name = Fluent Bit
baseurl = https://packages.fluentbit.io/amazonlinux/2/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.fluentbit.io/fluentbit.key
enabled=1
```
Amazon Linux 2023
```
[fluent-bit]
name = Fluent Bit
baseurl = https://packages.fluentbit.io/amazonlinux/2023/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.fluentbit.io/fluentbit.key
enabled=1
```
## Install Fluent-Bit
Once your repository is configured, run the following command to install it:
```
sudo yum install fluent-bit
```
Now the following step is to instruct systemd to enable the service:
```
sudo systemctl start fluent-bit
```
If you do a status check, you should see a similar output like this:
```
systemctl status fluent-bit
```
```

The default configuration of fluent-bit is collecting metrics of CPU usage and sending the records to the standard output, you can see the outgoing data in your /var/log/messages file.

Start_time_sec | Dummy base timestamp in seconds. Default: 0
Start_time_nsec | Dummy base timestamp in nanoseconds. Default: 0
Rate | Rate at which messages are generated expressed in how many times per second. Default: 1
Samples | If set, the events number will be limited. e.g. If Samples=3, the plugin only generates three events and stops.
Copies |  Number of messages to generate each time they are generated. Defaults to 1.

### Getting Started with fluent-bit dummy message producer code
You can run the plugin from the command line or through the configuration file:
