Configuring Fluentd Monitor Agent with specific Network Interfaces

The OMS Agent deploys a monitoring agent plugin that exports Fluentd's internal metrics via REST API. By default, it listens on port 25324 and binds on all interfaces (0.0.0.0).

There are certain instances where there might be a requirement to ensure that the Monitor Agent on port 25324 is bound to a specific network interface. This can be configured through the monitor.conf file by specifying a bind directive.

The monitor.conf file can be found in /etc/opt/microsoft/omsagent/{WORKSPACE-ID}/conf/omsagent.d/monitor.conf.

monitor.conf

CODE

<source>
  type monitor_agent
  bind 127.0.0.1 # Replace this value with the IP of your preferred network interface
  tag oms.health
  port 25324
  emit_interval 5m
  emit_config true
</source>
