We like to use the EFK stack for centralised logging of containers running in Kubernetes with CRI-O.
The recommended DaemonSet looks like this:
kind: DaemonSet
metadata:
namespace: logging
name: fluent-bit
labels:
component: fluent-bit-logging
version: v1
kubernetes.io/cluster-service: "true"
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:

configMap:

What should we adjust to get fluent bit to parse the correct logs? (Currently it doesn't parse anything). /var/lib/docker/containers exists but is empty..
